Parks and Recreation thank you so much
for being here thanks for having us

is a three-day festival music outdoor
activities all kinds of vendors from all
over the place there's literally so much
to do yeah let's talk about some of just
some of the activities that people can
expect yeah so yeah I keep said we have
a little bit of everything we have over
135 unique activities that you could
participate in oh wow so some of the
things that you have to kind of plan
ahead for would be an alley cat race on
Friday so that is like a bike scavenger
hunt around town so there is a bee relay
it's a team of up to four people run a
mile and you drink a beer you can't so
yeah okay okay and then we have a
scavenger hunt called the wild deer
chase on Sunday and so that's gonna be
it's like a scavenger hunt you run all
around town within a two-mile radius of
festival village and then you come back
and based on your score you get to enter
our gear tent where we have tons of
prizes in there everything from a
rooftop tent to looking at bike yeah we
have backpacks we have everything in
between it's really yeah and you have to
sign up in advance right yeah you can
register on-site for that one but for
the beer relay they were not taking
on-site registrations so this week if
you're interested okay okay and what
have you brought today we have a
slackline which is one of the many
things that you can just drop in and do
without having to sign up at all okay so
yeah let's talk about the slackline
you know what is it how do we how do we
do it yeah so this is our basic we call
them slack rack so this is we'll have
four of these out on go fest site this
is for beginners or you know people
anybody can jump on there here we'll
have some that are about hip height okay
those are a little bit more advanced and
then we're gonna have some that are
higher up and those are for our pros and
we're looking at some pictures yes
absolutely so there's like doing flips
and stuff yes they're doing flips
they're jumping they're getting massive
air off these things that's kind of a
limit really very
Ramzi so people's pretty um like us are
gonna be able to try this at go fast yes
okay what are your tips for people that
are trying out the slackline maybe for
the first time yeah absolutely
so you're gonna want to start near
whatever we have it on so sometimes
you're gonna have to do a tree we have
it on this rack here we will have little
platforms that go fast as well so it's
gonna be most stable here so I'm going
to start and then I'm gonna keep my core
kind of nice and tight but a little bit
disconnected from my legs so my I'm
gonna keep my hands over my head and be
a little more fluid up here and keep my
core tight and try to walk pretty
straight
of course you're asking me to do this on
TV out away from the slackline not down
at your feet okay alright is it easier
to do it barefoot or with shoes on
really flexible shoes or barefoot I find
it a little bit easier all right only
not heels okay
heels yes okay yeah - high heels my
director says he wants to see that
alright so oh wait I have to look
straight you said I would look straight
okay I'm back beyond beyond likes okay
there's one step yeah you know what now
as Brittany gets set up I have a
question are we gonna be able to see
like performances and stuff from the
pros yes absolutely um so they don't
have ready go oh geez oh geez oh geez
but they will be periodically just
performing and doing all their tricks
and showing off skills they all so
that's so incredible okay they'll help
people as well so where are these people
from over the place I'm not sure so the
guys we have comer from slackline
industries typically but they sometimes
they just travel around I think they're
from all over the place their feel all
over well it's so much fun I want to get
one for my backyard I do too so they're
gonna be out all over go fest so if you
want to try this you certainly can and
tell me again it starts on a Friday at
6:00 right Yeah right and it goes all
weekend long yes and there's all kinds
of things you can try we really want
people to get a chance till they get out
there and try something new that's what
it's all about is getting keep
to come try new experiences so
slacklining fly casting fly fishing by
climbing rock climbing everything it's
so much fun you guys
alright so bro no go fest calm and come
out to river's edge and enjoy
