Description
River Rats always seem to go to extremes when it is time to having fun, whether it be kayaking, rafting, canoeing or tubing. It can be dangerous to dive into rapid water. It can also be challenging, but it is always fun participating or observing activities like the Hooligan Race at FIBark where the event can be rewarding as well as fun. Creative come spun floating floatillas manned by adventuresome entrepreneurs and their crews join together to �catch a big one� (one of three bags of goodies including money) to score up to $30,000.00. The stakes are high and so are many of the participants. It is, however, one of the most hilarious episodes of Tom Foolery you could ever witness.
FIBArk stands for "First in Boating the Arkansas" -- it's a festival that started in the 1950s. The history actually began in 1949 when two friends bet each other who'd win a race from Salida, CO to Ca�on City, CO on the Arkansas River. Since that race almost killed both contestants in subsequent years the race was shortened to about 26 miles of whitewater from Salida, CO to Cotopaxi, CO. It became a community-wide festival that serves as homecoming from many who have moved away. Today the festival draws over 10,000 people yearly, around the 3rd week of June, and includes a variety of events on the river and in town
