I just came back from seeing the Texas Tree Climbing Competitors In Fort Worth over the weekend and it was a lot of fun to see those guys doing what they do on a daily basics just for fun and to compete with fellow Arborists.
It was a lot of fun and it still had sponsorship but it is not thrilling enough for TV. It is kind of like watching golf the guy hitting the ball is having fun the rest are just following along to rub elbows with the Masters.
The kids climbing activities enjoyed a large number of participants ( Tom Dunlap) was one of the volunteers.
Overall everyone had a fun time at a very low cost ( free entrance! how cool is that).
