Hi Everyone!
I'm helping to organize The Jacksaphine Count(r)y Fair--an event on Sept 16th that will celebrate the abundance of the Applegate Valley and raise funds for A Greater Applegate (
www.agreaterapplegate.org. The org advocates for the "social, environmental and economic vitality of the Applegate Valley."
It will take place on land adjacent to the green bridge in downtown Applegate. There will be county commissioners present, as well as reporters from our local newspapers. Also, live music, food, activities, booths etc.
I'm running an Applegate trivia booth there and am hoping to have a pilot at the booth with a wing to chat with people about paragliding in our valley and how paragliding wings work.
The Big Ask: to give the winner the prize of a tandem flight. Not sure if anyone is willing to donate a flight? A Greater Applegate is a huge local resource for our Valley and has done a lot of work helping local farmers, hiking trail associations, and funded dozens of community enhancement projects.
If you aren't willing to donate, I can scratch around for some funds.. though any sort of discount would also be appreciated.
By the way, A Greater Applegate is great potential resource for advocating and sourcing funding for flying activities in the Valley. I hope you'll connect with this great local group.
