The weather forecast for the week is outstanding as FIBArk kicks off today with Yoga for Boaters at 8:30 am and this evening’s traditional Business After-Hours event from 5 to 7 at the SteamPlant.
The National Weather Service is predicting highs in the upper 80s, lows in the 40s, clear skies and winds 5-15mph through the weekend. Great weather to be outside with just enough heat to set the Arkansas at a perfect level for the river events. So grab your flip-flops and head for the river!
Thursday is going to be a fun day as we are looking forward to pancakes on the street followed by a trip up to Pine Creek for the Pine Creek Boater X at 10am. It’s great head to head competition through some of the most challenging whitewater around. Another morning option is kicking off at 10:30; the Wildwater Classic down in Coaldale.
For many FIBArk really begins Thursday at 3pm with the First Inaugural Beer Pour. The Beer Pour is followed by a frenzy of FIBArk fun with live music starting at 5, raft sprints at 5:30, the super popular Tenderfoot Hill Climb at 6, and the hilarious Raft Rodeo at 6:30.
For a more detailed look at what’s on tap visit the FIBArk Events page. We hope to see you out there, look for us and the Outside TV gang near the big Redbull MC tent. There is even a rumor afloat that the Bill D. may be around, getting his first taste of sunshine since the van attacked him last month. Look for him, give him your love and a handshake, but save the hugs for later when his ribs stop rattling.
Happy FIBArking!
