What's better than spending the afternoon racing down the river in full costume with five bands, four breweries and great food waiting at the finish line? How about donating to an important cause in the process? Done! All proceeds benefit Operation Vacation, a charity reuniting soldiers serving more than one consecutive tour in Iraq or Afghanistan with their families for an all-expense-paid weekend in Glenwood Springs.

Events take place at Three Rivers Park in Glenwood Springs. Rafting is $25 per raft; park admission is $10 per person. For more information, check out www.operationvacation.org.
