PLEASE step up and help out Janet and Jim by volunteering to work a few hours during the kiteboarding portions of the games. As of last night they only have about a third of the volunteer positions filled.

The Gorge Games is selling 4 day passes to the event, but I can't find any details about what the pass gets me, except that there is a concert? Do I need a pass to watch events like kiteboarding? If I come only for the kiteboarding, do I still need to buy a $35 pass for each family member? Hopefully the Gorge Games will make this clear because it will affect attendance.

Chargind admitance for the Gorge Games is BS from my standpoint. This isn't the AST Dew Tour. I think that by charging even 35 bucks a day is going to deter alot of spectators from going and watching alot of the events and kills the whole gorge vibe which sucks. Hopfully ther will still be a good turnout and local support for the games but the charged admitance has got to go lower or away completely.

I'm going to try to answer my own questions here because they have gone unanswered to the best of my knowledge. It looks you need a pass to get into the Villages and Event Site. In the small print of the Gorge Games calendar of events, I just found this for Saturday and Sunday:
"Adventure Village Opens and the Gorge Games Festival begins! Includes live music, commercial vendors, exhibitors, beer garden, delicious food and a myriad of activities. Admission is $35 for all 4 days which also includes Kids Action Village, Athlete's Village, The Event Site and shuttle service to remote Sports Events. Time: 10 am to Midnight (Sat). 10 am to 10 pm (Sun). Lion's Club Pancake Breakfast Saturday 8 am in Athletes Village. Awards Ceremony Sunday 6 pm."

I'm not sure why this stuff isn't mentioned on the main web site when you click the purchase tickets button. I'm still hoping for a day pass because all I want to do is watch kiteboarding when I'm in town that Saturday.

BTW, photographers, at gorgegames.net I found something about a team photography contest awhile back, but I can't remember where.

Do we need to register each event individually and enter cc info multiple times? If so, how do you get a discount for entering multiple events?
