The Rockies, 2020 edition

May 16, 2020.

That was the date for The Rockies, and it was set many months in advance.

But then, as Ryan Reynolds so eloquently put it recently…

Nevertheless, the Boise Advertising Federation quickly shifted, and held the show entirely online, with attendees watching and chatting via YouTube.

All in all it was a tremendous success, and everyone involved in making it happen deserves a ton of credit.
