Alliance Events
Airboat Tour
This is an Annual Event for the LPRCA, in the past few years we have taken on average about 60 people out giving them a view of the Platte River not many people see. During the tour we stop periodically to hear presentations on a variety of subjects and discuss what is happening along the river. This is an all day event usually going from about 9am until 4pm with a lunch stop along the way. The tour is free for the participants, who are typically local leaders with influence over the Lower Platte River Corridor. If interested in presenting or attending please contact the Alliance.

Water Quality Open
Held every year since 1997, this event blends an outdoor recreational activity with educational opportunities to raise awareness of the importance of water resources in the Lower Platte River Corridor and beyond. Participants range from the general public to legislators to resources managers. Information and outreach is apparent at all turns of the tournament including displays at the clubhouse, trivia signs on the greens, presentations prior to the event, and demonstrations on specific holes. The tournament also allows participants to co-mingle and meet new people with different ideas and perspectives. We have a capacity of 144 players on the tournament and have sold it out for the past two years. If you or your organization have an interest in donating or participating in this fabulous event please contact the Alliance.

River Summit
The Alliance hosted a River Summit on Sept. 19, 2006 at the Swanson Conference Center located at Camp Carol Joy Holling near Ashland. It went from 12-8pm with two meals served and several information sessions. The keynote speaker was Ernie Neimi of EcoNorthwest on the economic impact of natural resources, such as the Platte River. We also had talks and demonstrations by Alliance members and partners on the various issues affecting the Lower Platte River Corridor.
