VIDEO – Great West Gym Fest 2024
I’ve volunteered many times at the Great West Gym Fest in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho — close to Spokane.
It’s easily the best Invitational I’ve ever attended.
For hosts Dave & Lisa Adlard, I put together a highlights VIDEO trying to show just how FUN this competition is for the kids. Every aspect of the meet is FUN.
