Hot time summer in Salt Lake City

This summer’s Outdoor Retailer show was hot – in all ways possible.  It’s always great to check in with all of the companies and athletes that help raise awareness and funding for Save Our Wild Salmon and other conservation efforts either directly or through the great work of the Conservation Alliance.

What’s more, these leaders help carry a simple but essential message to policy-makers: healthy salmon and healthy rivers mean business and jobs for communities across the country.  Behold, some photos from the show:
