PtboPics & Coverage: Women's Only Event At Wild Rock

On Sunday evening, Wild Rock hosted a special Women's Only event from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. The first 50 women who had RSVP-ed for the event were welcomed with a bag of goodies as they arrived, including a travel mug from Marmot, a 3-visit pass to Goodlife and an assortment of other items. There were also door prizes and contests to enter for some fabulous prize packs. The place was bustling as women networked and chatted as they sipped wine and sampled horderves. It was a great evening, and one that I'm sure will become an annual event.

Wild Rock Outfitters Is Staying Right Where They Are (But Renovating)

There has been speculation that Wild Rock Outfitters is moving to another location, but those rumours have been put to rest. From co-owner Scott Murison in their just-released June newsletter: "I would like to say 'Wild Rock is NOT moving!!!!!'  We will be renovating our present building."
