A Message from the Organizers
“A Mind Stretched By a New Experience Can Never Return to its Original Dimensions”
- Oliver Wendall Holmes
Our Mission is to provide a Family Fun Outdoor Event that exposes Youth and Adults alike to many new experiences in the Great Outdoors through appreciation and education of the outdoors.
Back in 2001 when we started planning for our “one of a kind” outdoor show, we asked people what were some of your most memorable times growing up? We were amazed, but not surprised how many people answered “the times we were outside with our family for the weekend”. In these busy days where computers, TV’s, voice mail, and email dictate our lives and our schedules, we want to make sure these “outdoor moments” are not lost; thus the creation of the Fox Creek Outdoor Experience.
The motivation to organize this Family Fun event is so people of all ages can come to a beautiful outdoor setting to participate “Hands On” with a wide variety of outdoor activities to find their “passion” in the outdoors. This is also a great opportunity for our youth to get involved in a positive outdoor activity of their choice. These choices will have a tremendous outcome on our futures. Once the interest of young people is lost, we have lost much more than their interest; but a way of life, a life filled with fresh air, outdoor exercise, and a concern for our natural resources.
Lastly, the Fox Creek Outdoor Experience is about local people working with local businesses to make this a truly “one of a kind” outdoor adventure. This event would not be possible without the help and support of some local businesses such as Kames Sports and Ernie's Bikes. Please keep these great businesses in mind when it comes time to purchase your equipment and supplies.
We hope that you will make it a tradition to spend one fall weekend a year with us at the Fox Creek Outdoor Experience. So let your mind be stretched and enjoy the Adventure!
