The Big Float invites Portland to ride the waves across the Willamette River on floaty gear
Hosted by Lisa Loving
The Big Float, coming up July 29, will put you on the Willamette River in a personal floatation device along with a couple thousand of your best pals doing the same thing. Last year, about 1,300 people floated across the Willamette and no one reported rashes, tetanus, or injuries. What's next? A sandy swimming beach at Waterfront Park? Maybe.
Host Lisa Loving's guests are Will Levinson of The Big Float and Rick Bastasch of the Portland Office of Healthy Working Rivers. Do you swim in the Willamette, and are you planning to go to the Big Float?
Also, on the phone, we had Marisa Frieder from The Portland Bridge Swim describe her River event.
