Outlaw Trail’s ‘Let’s Go’ Closing Weekend Offers Chance To Win Rafting Trip
Many aspects of Outlaw Trail’s production of ‘Let’s Go – A John Wesley Powell Story’ are unique. How many Uintah Basin theater productions have opened with an official Declaration from the Governor’s Office and had Congressmen and public officials attend on multiple nights of the show? Likely none. And how many local theater productions do you know come with the chance to win a high adventure river rafting trip? Well for those that purchase tickets for tonight or tomorrow’s closing shows, that’s exactly what will happen. Thanks to a partnership with Dinosaur River Expeditions and ‘OARS – Whitewater Rafting’, they are holding a special drawing for three lucky winners. One winner will receive a day trip for two down the Green River at Flaming Gorge with Dinosaur River Expeditions and the other two winners will go down the river at Split Mountain with OARS. This is your chance to follow in the footsteps of John Wesley Powell and his explorers and experience the beauty and adventure of the Green River, just as they did so many years ago. Visit the Outlaw Trail Theater Facebook page for more information or visit www.OutlawTrailTheater.org for tickets to tonight or tomorrow’s production.
