Cleveland kicked off it’s second HFT event this past September with a solid showing from the crowd and local sponsors. The support for HFT was evident as attendees traveled from all over Cleveland’s East & West sides to join the party that was held at the historic Chagrin Valley Little Theater in Chagrin Falls, OH. On hand was Cleveland’s own outdoor pioneer Joe Kulis of “Outdoor World of Kastaway Kulis” who kicked off the event and introduced the short films. A great evening was enjoyed by all and positive vibes keep flowing, fueling the stoke heading into the Whitetail woods!

Another successful HFT Tour stop chalk full of big smiles and lots of fun!
