At 6pm, Gary will judge a freestyle “Hydrotherapy Session” on the Spokane River near Liberty Lake. Local kayakers will give you a taste of the action the Whitewater Park will bring to downtown Spokane. Admission is free for Friends of the Falls members; for non-members we suggest a $10 donation. The location will depend on river flows – check here for updates on location and logistics.
