Riverfest Celebrates the Rivers of Farmington, N.M. on Memorial Day Weekend











Riverfest in Farmington, N.M.


Farmington, N.M. (PRWEB) May 17, 2012

Riverfest is one of the most popular annual events promoted by the Farmington Convention & Visitors Bureau. It has live music, a juried art show, arts and crafts booths, river rafting, a wiener dog race, a pie eating contest, 5K and 10K races and more. Families come from around the region to enjoy entertainment on the trails and brick terraces that line the Animas River. They stop at an All Veterans Park along its banks, paying tribute to servicemen and women. Along with the fun, Riverfest is a symbol of the community’s pride in a public/private partnership that has greatly enhanced Farmington’s quality of life.

Farmington’s Riverine Project, which to date has developed five parks along the Animas River, began in the1980’s combining city government backing with citizen activism. Working together, they began the long process of cleaning up and beautifying rivers that were then ignored trash-filled back waters. According to Bob Hudson, retired Farmington City Manager, who came to Farmington originally to head its Parks and Recreation Department, “The Riverine Project has been the best thing that has happened in Farmington area since the development of the natural gas industry here and will continue to be the most significant public and private partnership enterprise in the years to come.” In 2011 the river parks’ trail system received a National Recreation Trail designation from the Department of Interior.

The River Reach Foundation in Farmington is the nonprofit organization that spearheads volunteer work and private fund raising to protect and improve the river corridors. The group also seeks land grants and easements from owners to increase park access along the rivers. Their volunteers help City parks staff build new trails and maintain old ones. Most recently City staff and Foundation volunteers repaired the Rocky Reach Rapid creating a hydraulic wave feature for kayakers and boaters in the process. Besides producing Riverfest, the Foundation also organizes a RiverGlo at Christmas and various concerts along the river.

Over the years Farmington’s riverside parks have played host to numerous other local, state, regional, and national events. They serve as a surprisingly successful economic and tourism generator, even “serving as a selling point for hosting conferences and conventions,” notes Hudson.

Despite the importance of Farmington’s riverside parks as community assets, it may be just as important to remember that these parks along a river in Northern New Mexico are a fine place for a quiet walk in a natural oasis now reclaimed.

The Farmington Convention & Visitors Bureau is a destination marketing organization that supplies visitor information to travelers interested in things to see and do in Farmington and the Four Corners region.

Yet, if you think further, besides health, there is very significant aspect in people?s life that any of us should not ignore. It is the finance. If we ignore the importance of finance, even to conduct health maintenance will be difficult for us because we have limited cash.

People actually have different finance condition from each other because they have different way to gain income indeed. In this case, the problems that they have in their finance condition may vary as well. It is actually has become common knowledge that people who have finance difficulty; the main solution that they take is by borrowing money whether from their relations or from money lender such as bank.

The main problem about such method in gaining extra cash, especially when people need to fund any unpredictable finance need such as paying for accident recovery or simply to pay medication fees, from bank is indeed that they cannot get such loan in fast.

It is because it offers faster application, it also gives people who have bad credit history no difficulty in applying for loan that they need.

Pigeon Forge, TN (PRWEB) May 16, 2012

The STIHL® TIMBERSPORTS® Series, the nation’s premier lumberjack competition, announced today it will honor the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the U.S. Navy SEALs during the STIHL TIMBERSPORTS Series U.S. Championship at The Great Smoky Mountain Lumberjack Feud in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., June 1-3. The STIHL TIMBERSPORTS Series presented by Ram Trucks will pay tribute to the SEALs with a special ceremony that will include 10 retired members of SEAL Teams ONE and TWO during Saturday’s competition June 2 at 12:20 p.m. EDT. The Championships will stream live on STIHLTIMBERSPORTS.US.

“It is a great honor to host these first U.S. Navy SEALs and celebrate their 50th anniversary at this year’s STIHL TIMBERSPORTS Series U.S. Championship,” said Roger Phelps, promotional communications manager, STIHL Inc. “Our country is forever grateful for this legendary group of Americans, we call the U.S. Navy SEALs.”

During the final round of the U.S. Championship Saturday, June 2, STIHL will recognize the 50th anniversary of the SEALS with a special ceremony with five plank owners from SEAL Team ONE and five plank owners from Team TWO, including Rudy Boesch of Survivor fame. Paying tribute to the two original teams, STIHL will present the members with two unique, custom-painted MS 660 STIHL Magnum® chain saws embossed with the 50th anniversary emblem. The MS 660 STIHL Magnum® is the type of chain saw used in the STIHL TIMBERSPORTS Series stock saw discipline.

“We’re thrilled at the opportunity to further honor the 50th anniversary of the U.S. Navy SEALs at the STIHL TIMBERSPORTS U.S. Championship with original plank owners from both teams present,” said Jim Madison, executive director, UDT-SEAL Association.

On Jan. 1, 1962, created from Navy underwater demolition units, the SEALs started with two teams, 20 officers and 100 enlisted sailors under John F. Kennedy’s presidency. Coronado, Calif., was the location of SEAL Team ONE; Little Creek, Va., was home to Team TWO.

The STIHL TIMBERSPORTS Series, billed as the Original Extreme Sport, consists of six professional lumberjack disciplines, the hot saw, single buck, springboard chop, standing block chop, stock saw and underhand chop. Held in conjunction with the Collegiate Series, the qualifying rounds pit the top eight lumberjacks in the region against each other with the top four pro athletes from each advancing to the STIHL TIMBERSPORTS Series Pro Championship. These four individuals will not only compete against other competitors from around the country for the championship crown, but will also join together to represent their regions in the STIHL TIMBERSPORTS Relay Competition. In addition to receiving the ultimate bragging rights in lumberjack sports and a Ram 1500 truck, the top U.S. competitor also advances to the World Championship in Lillehammer, Norway Sept. 8-9. The Collegiate Championship, held every year in conjunction with the STIHL TIMBERSPORTS Pro Championship, pits the five regional collegiate champions and one wildcard pick against each other. The collegiate champion not only wins an automatic spot in the Pro Series the following season, but also a spot competing on the rookie relay team in the 2012 World Championship.

Novato, CA (PRWEB) May 10, 2012

Amid the online shopping crazes of late, daily deal websites have gradually made their presence known with all subtlety of a locomotive. While the titans, groupon and livingsocial, have assumed twin thrones at the top of the quick-coupon kingdom, scores of other daily deal sites are launching every day, and shoppers can now revel in the fact that what they’re looking for may well have a daily deal site dedicated to it before long. Enter SheSpree.com, a new daily deal website designed by women, for women. The site offers buy-today discount coupons on a variety of products and services that women need to help manage their personal lives, their homes, and their businesses. All the deals are offered by women-owned companies from Marin County, California (in the San Francisco Bay Area), so the site maintains a local appeal. However, products and services that can be phoned in, downloaded, or shipped also keep their nationwide subscriber base happy. The focus is on the economic empowerment of women, so every time a customer buys a coupon to save her own money, she’ll also be supporting a woman entrepreneur with her shopping dollars.

While the larger daily deal sites tend to offer recreational activities and products that are fun to buy, SheSpree.com holds yet another distinction. Founder & CEO Paula Richer explains, “SheSpree.com is where a woman can go to find what she needs to help manage every area of her life – whether it’s skin care for herself, a landscaper for her home, or a business attorney for her startup. We offer a bevy of choices, and discount the products and services needed for the full spectrum of her lifestyle.”

Deal offers will hail from the industries of fashion, jewelry, fitness, health and wellness, financial services, specialty foods, art, house wares, books, flowers, spas, salons, beauty products, restaurants, entertainment, professional organizers, interior designers, graphic artists, coaches, marketing firms, and more. Women account for 85% of all consumer purchases, and over 50% of online shoppers are women, so by SheSpree.com throwing its gauntlet into the ring with its distinctly feminine brand, it shouldn’t take long to secure its Queenly Seat in the Kingdom of Daily Deals.
