For 50 years, OARS (which was formerly known as Hatch River runners) has been running river tours. To celebrate this feat they are taking an idea that they started last year and turning it into a giant celebration called the Boathouse Tour being held at several of their locations including Vernal, Utah. They are describing the celebration as a way “ to pay tribute to thousands of guides and employees, nearly a million guests, countless relationships within each of the communities where we operate, and decades-long partnerships with the National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management among others.” The celebration will include a mini film festival of OARS favorite short films and videos. Also there will be an unique opportunity to play river games and have fireside storytelling. Music will be provided during dinner, a spin on a traditional American BBQ and of course there will be giveaways and prizes. The event will be $25 dollars per adult with two kids under 15 getting in for free per ticket. All the ticket sales are donated to Colorado Plateau River Guides. Dinner
starts at 6pm
at the OARS/Don Hatch River Expeditions Boathouse and films start at dusk.
