We’re at Outdoor Retailer again!
Twice a year we attend the outdoor industry trade show. It’s an important time to network with the brands that make the gear that’s used on our trail. This time at ‘OR’ pays dividends as we seek and gain support from this $120 billion dollar industry. Our partners’ commitment to the PCT, their expertise and their donation of time, money and other resources are key to the continuing and future success of the PCTA. We’re using the hashtag #ORGives to encourage the brands that give something back.
This year, we’ve brought along more volunteers than ever. Check our instagram feed and twitter feed for more #ORShow news.
It’s also a ton of fun. We’ll be adding more photos to this thread as the week goes on. Check back. If you’re attending, stop by our booth at #A-120. Special thanks to RootsRated and Danner for hosting happy hours at the show to raise money for the PCT!
