Town Of Fort Smith – Visitor Center

Cluesolvers – The Lost Cassette

As apart of my work with the Town of Fort Smith Visitor Center I designed a interactive discovery style tour of the town through a series of riddles and tasks that take you around the best sites of Fort Smith. Styled like the Amazing Race, each of the clues leads you to a different site within walking distance of the center of town.

In the Northwest Territories sits a small town surrounded by the tall pine trees of the boreal forest. The community recently celebrated its 55th anniversary when it was revealed that the famous lost Cassette of Cassette Rapids had actually been hidden somewhere in town! The Cassette, thought to be lost long ago, is a wooden box filled with the wages of the Fur-Trappers. Search parties have been working day and night, leaving no stone unturned, in hopes of being the first to find the fortune. People aren’t sharing information about the Cassettes’ whereabouts and are even misleading others to throw them off the scent. The only thing we know is where the first clue is located, somewhere on the grounds of the Northern Life Museum. Can you follow the clues and be the first to uncover the lost wages of the Fur Trappers?

2024 PRIDE – TOFS

While I don’t have a ton of footage or photos I was pleased to assist in the 2024 Fort Smith PRIDE Festival. In addition to setting up Town Of Fort Smith information booths at the Pancake Breakfast I also assisted in set-up/take-down and facilitation of the official event and Drag shows at the Fort Smith Arena.

2021 Summer Music Nights

The main project taken on by the Town Of Fort Smith Visitor Center staff in 2021 was our “Summer Music Nights”, a series of outdoor Music nights in Mission Park. Live Music, Free BBQ, and Karaoke nights were all popular highlights in our series of 2021 Summer Music Nights.

Bats! Species At Risk

While working at the joint WBNP/TOFS Visitor Center we noticed a family of Bats using the entrance way as a den. Our team monitored the Bats daily to check for signs of “white-nose syndrome” a fungal disease which has caused the rapid decline of Northern Bat populations.

Town Of Fort Smith – Desnede Farmer Market & Community Garden – June 2021

In my work with the Town of Fort Smith I’ve had the privilage of partnering with the Desnedé Farmers’ Market. A local non-profit society that facilitates a local craft and goods sale over weekends in the summer. Run out of Mission Park the Desnedé Farmers’ Market is next to our local community garden. Locals who have signed up for a plot will grow flowers and vegetables to later sell via the market.
