Spokane River Fundraiser

Sean Visintainer - 05/01/17

Water to Wine - Spokane River Glover Field Auction.

Like river access? This is your chance!

Want more access on the Spokane River? Want a place to launch your drift boat, raft, kayak? This is your chance to help create that access! Glover Field in Peaceful Valley, right below the falls, is currently in the design process for redeveloping and improving access to the river. This also includes a new boat slide for anglers, whitewater enthusiast, and other recreational paddlers to have a boat launch site right out of downtown. Creating a boat access at Glover gives river users access to the Spokane River Gorge. We currently have a takeout already at the Treatment Plant that has been redeveloped (thanks to Spokane River Forum pushing to get that done) so why don't we have a put-in?!

Join us on May 19th for our annual Spokane River Fundraiser called Water to Wine in conjunction with the Spokane River Forum. This year's event will be held at the Chateau Rive in the basement of the Flour Mill. Chateau Rive sits adjacent to the Spokane Falls and offers a scenic view of the river and downtown. A venue worth checking out! As with all fundraisers we help host there will be many great auction items like a Winston fly rod, guided trips, and more. An excellent spread of appetizers, drinks, wine / beer, as well as live music from the The Cronkites. Should be a great time!

All proceeds go towards the Glover Field Park and Boat Access project to help see it through completion.
