Just in time for the early summer like weather, the CE Centre played host to the Outdoor Adventure and Travel show this past weekend. The show offered a more then tempting and inspirational array of summer fun possibilities. From world wide travel, to adventures right here in our own back yard, upon leaving the show the options for adventure this summer seemed limitless.
As you entered the show room floor the centre piece of the show was hard to miss. A large pool roughly five feet deep and maybe thirty long, was placed just inside the doors in the middle of the floor. Throughout the day there was a number of live water shows and demonstrations, including kayaking, canoeing and scuba diving. During certain parts of the demonstrations audience also got an underwater perspective featured on screens placed around the pool and fed from a live underwater camera on the end of a pool skimmer pole.
Naturally there were numerous kiosks and live attractions to experience. Among these were a number of interactive displays and an amplitude of products ranging from kayaks to clothing. One of the more unique kiosks belonged to the Finding Life Film School who had a camera set up for anyone who wished to do an interview explaining why they thought they were a good candidate to be selected for a one of a kind trip to Kenya where you would be part of a film team hiking Mount Kilimanjaro.
A number of local businesses didn’t miss out on the opportunity to show off their impressive wares either, like Altitude Gym who had an impressive rock wall towering over the show and Kunstadt Sports who had a wide range of bicycles and products on display. Another local business present was GO Skydiving, who were promoting their own pre-season savings for jumpers in the Ottawa area. In addition to the offers, draws, displays, products and travel options presented, there was a consistent flow of speakers who could be found on one of two stages at opposing ends of the floor. The speakers ranged from mountain climbers to photography teachers and spectators could listen in as they passed or claim a seat in the audience and take in the talks. Overall the two day event was well worth the 12$ admission for anyone looking for some outdoor adventure and travel this summer.
