I was so busy at the Great West Gym Fest that I took very few photos (flickr). And those few were not particularly good.
But if there is a better gymnastics competition hosted anywhere — I have never heard of it. This competition is excellent! They do more to make kids happy than any other event I’ve ever seen.
Close to 1600 gymnasts, a couple of hundred wooden bears — and even a few moose attended this year. It’s hosted out of one of the best hotels in the States, the gorgeous Coeur d’Alene Resort.
Funtastics Gymnastics Head Coach David Adlard runs the meet. Teams fly into Spokane airport.
Another venue was added for 2007 with a gigantic flag backdrop. I loved that it was the compulsory girls who got to compete on the stage podium, not the optional kids. What a thrill for them.
