Bellingham Whitewater is proud to bring you the Washington premiere of ‘Hotel Charley 3: The Lost World’ on April 24th at Broadway Hall in Bellingham. Ben Stookesberry and Jesse Coombs, finalists for National Geographic Adventure’s 2007 Adventurer of the Year award, will be on hand to present their latest film, in which they travel to Brazil, India, and Newfoundland in search of some of the biggest whitewater on the planet.
It’s just $6 to get in ($5 if you’re a student), and we’ll have beer ($3 with ID), snacks from Bandito’s Burritos (free!), and tons of outdoor and paddling gear to raffle off, including a shiny new Lendal paddle! All proceeds from the event will be donated to American Whitewater to help them promote river access and stewardship.
We’ll be opening the doors at 6, and the film will start at 7. Thanks to our sponsors: Yeagers, Backcountry Essentials, Small World Adventures, Johnson Outdoors, Western Washington University, and REI. Check out the poster below, and click here for more event details, maps to the venue, and a trailer. We hope to see you there!
