2013 GTRec Experience

Providing Community Recreation Opportunities

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan is proud to sponsor the first annual GTRec Experience Expo on Sunday, April 28.  From noon to 5 p.m. at the Civic Center, this free public event will offer the over 30 businesses and organizations an opportunity to educate and inform the community about their recreational services, products and events.  Come and meet Fish from 106KHQ and enter to win a special GTRec Experience!

“This will be a fun community event to kick off the summer recreation season,” said Parks & Recreation Network Member, Erith Welch.  “It will be a great chance for everyone to see what our area has to offer.”

Special live demonstrations include a kayak roll and scuba demonstration in the pool, a self-defense demonstration and water and boat safety tips and techniques.  The Senior Center Network will be demonstrating Pickleball, a fast paced paddle and ball game.  A dunk tank hosted by the Traverse City Breakers Swim Club will accept donations.  Nominations for “dunkees” are being accepted – contact Liz Berger at ejoyberger@yahoo.com  Don’t miss the USCG Helicopter inside Howe Arena!
