FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Rotary's 9th Annual Great Bear Festival
Saturday, August 8 | 3:00-8:00 PM
Wachholz College Center & O'Shaughnessy Outdoor Amphitheater
The Kalispell Noon Rotary and Daybreak Rotary Clubs welcome everyone to the 9th Annual Rotary Great Bear Festival, presented by Title Sponsor Toyota, on Saturday, August 8, from 3:00 to 8:00 PM at the beautiful Wachholz College Center and O'Shaughnessy Outdoor Amphitheater.
The Festival is packed with activities for all ages, including a basketball free-throw contest, giant bubble-making, lawn games, a climbing wall for older youth, dunk tank with local celebrities, kids scavenger hunt, adorable rescue kittens, K-9 patrol demonstrations, art corner, maker station, and the famous Great Beer Stein Competition. Bring a lawn chair and relax on the expansive amphitheater lawns. If the weather doesn't cooperate, the entire festival will move indoors!
Adults can sample outstanding local and regional breweries, cideries, and wines while enjoying delicious offerings from local food trucks. Live music will fill the amphitheater throughout the afternoon, culminating with a headline performance by Tommy Edwards and Man with a Box from 5:30 to 8:00 PM.
All proceeds support Rotary's long-standing commitment to serve our community through Rotary Basketball, RYLA youth leadership camp, high school scholarships, the new Ashley Creek Park inclusive playground, grants to local nonprofits, and international projects that provide clean water, sanitation, educational opportunities, and economic development. "The Great Bear Festival has become one of the Flathead Valley's favorite traditions because it brings people together for summertime fun and gives back to the community we love," said Kalispell Rotary Club President Darla Harmon. "Every ticket purchased helps Rotary make a lasting difference here at home and around the world."
