From the Convention & Visitors Bureau:You’re invited to join us as we kick off Fort Wayne Sports Tourism Month.
Monday, June 30 10:30 am
Spiece Fieldhouse, 5310 Merchandise Drive
The big shoes are marching back to spotlight the impact of Sports Tourism. The Fort Wayne/Allen County Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB), area sports facilities and our generous sponsors have teamed up to bring you Team Dreams 2008.
Team Dreams 2008 features 20 amateur sports tournaments taking place this year in our community. These selected tournaments represent just a portion of sporting activities hosted by over a dozen public and private venues.
Sports Tourism is big news for our community’s economy. While in Fort Wayne for their tournaments, players, coaches and fans stay in our hotels, dine in our restaurants and enjoy our many attractions. These tournaments score between $13-15 million in visitor economic activity, and over 65,000 participants.
They’re on the move…
The Big Shoes will continue stepping around town through August. During this time, the shoes can be seen at the following locations:
· June 4 - July 11: Headwaters Park
· July 12: Three Rivers Festival Parade
· July 14 – July 31: Spiece Fieldhouse
· August 1: The Big Shoes are returned to their sponsors/owners
