Welcome back to the Outdoor Adventure Series podcast! In today's special episode, Discover Gems in Northeast Tennessee: Reflections from the OWAA Inaugural Field Fest 2024, we're diving into the recent OWAA Field Fest—a groundbreaking event that brings outdoor enthusiasts, writers, and journalists to lesser-known, rural destinations. We're joined by attendees and hosts who made this event a stellar success.

We'll hear firsthand experiences from a dynamic mix of guests who explored northeast Tennessee through activities like stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, hiking, and alpaca encounters. Discover how this event influences their writing and creates new collaboration opportunities. Get insights from executive director Chez Chesak on the event's success and future potential, and listen to Visit Johnson City's Brenda Whitson describe how events like Field Fest have an economic impact on the entire region of Northeast Tennessee.🌲🚴‍♂️🛶
