Minneapolis and St Paul boast a thriving outdoors scene. Let’s show that off with a Local’s Guide for use around the Outdoor Retailer show August 19-21, 2026.

Concept: Produce a 2-3 minute video with complimentary stills. Utilize four activities to share light on what people can access while in town for the OR Show. Local guides will show us around some favorite spots like Theo Wirth, Minneapolis Boulder Project, biking south Minneapolis, and the sips and shops that are worth your time.

Possible talent/friends of Paul:

DRTpdlrs - Twin Cities mountain biking

Raegan // Dirt Folk Trail - Twin Cities trail running, Theo Wirth

Waters Edge Drift Boat Fly Fishing - Fly fishing our legendary small mouth bass on the ol Mississippi

Why Paul?
