At noon on October 7, 150
CEO's from the outdoor recreation industry who met at the Grove
Park Inn for their annual OIA Rendezvous, descended on 144 Riverside
Drive at the RiverLink Performance Plaza (where RiverMusic Concerts are held)
to install permanent bike racks and picnic tables. The same
group came in 2010 and helped RiverLink clear all the river frontage from
the now demolished Ice House to the Performance Plaza as well as build a
labyrinth at the Cotton Mill which RiverLink owns on Riverside Drive.
According to RiverLink executive
director, Karen Cragnolin, "not only do these CEOs come and add their
muscle and labor to these efforts , they pay for all the materials and they
make a permanent positive impact on our community. WNC is one of
the most active outdoor recreation communities in the USA and its an honor and
a privilege to be working with OIA Rendezvous Teams again this
year. "
Approximately one half of the
CEO's will be on the river picking up litter in boats provided by NOC.
Later in the day New Belgium CEO, Jay Richardson will describe the New Belgium
happenings directly across the river from the RiverLink Performance Plaza
at the New Belgium construction site.
