ENO and NPCA Present Hammock Hangout Happy Hour and Art Show Hammocks, refreshments and See America art make up ENO’s first Happy Hour experience Experience some true Southern hospitality, and relief from Utah’s soaring August temperatures, during Eagles Nest Outfitters’ (ENO) first Happy Hour at this year’s Summer Outdoor Retailer Show. Combining hammocks, limited edition mason jars (filled with refreshing beverages for a $5 donation!), art from Creative Action Network’s (CAN) ‘See America’ campaign, bluegrass tunes, and fun giveaways, the event is in support of the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA). Kicking off at 4:30 p.m. on Day 1 of the Show, ENO will transform their booth (#26042) into an art gallery, displaying poster sized ‘See America’ prints: a crowd-sourced art campaign by CAN, enlisting artists from all 50 states celebrating our national parks and other treasured sites. The posters were originally commissioned by the government 75 years ago to showcase the country’s most stunning natural features. Aside from perusing art, limited edition mason jars will be available for a small donation, bluegrass music will set the tone, and a raffle – involving ENO hammocks, See America posters and America the Beautiful passes – will be held at the end of the event. All proceeds benefit NPCA’s Southeast Regional Office, encompassing parks from the southeastern shorelines to the southern highlands, including the Blue Ridge Parkway – ENO’s back yard. “We’re so excited to host our first Happy Hour with such an amazing partner as the NPCA,” Amy Allison, ENO’s Event Coordinator said. “The work they do is so commendable, working to protect the (National) Park System that so many of us in this industry enjoy on a regular basis.” The fun begins at 4:30 pm on Day 1 of the Show at the ENO booth #26042. Come have a dance, a drink, or simply a hang with ENO, the NPCA and CAN. Winners of the raffle must be in attendance in order to claim their prize.

Eagles Nest Outfitters Wins The Conservation Alliance’s Outstanding Partnership Award for 2014 Honored in addition to Black Diamond Equipment and The Forest Group, ENO selected for work with southern conservation group, Wild South Asheville, NC, April 9, 2014 –The Conservation Alliance announced ENO has been selected, alongside Black Diamond Equipment and The Forest Group, as the winners of their Outstanding Partnership Award for 2014. ENO was nominated for the honor by fellow ‘Ashevillians,’ Wild South – a conservation group rallying to preserve and protect the legacy of the South. The award recognizes ENO, creators of packable, travel hammocks and accessories made for nomadic comfort, for going above and beyond in building relationships with Conservation Alliance grantees, such as Wild South. Such efforts include the creation and promotion of ‘Wild South Wednesdays’ on their social media platforms, rallying nationwide support for the area’s wilderness, and helping to secure grants, among others. Coming hot off the heels of Bobby Jackson’s, ENO’s Vice President of Sales, Wild South Award of Distinction in March, the award rounds out a great Spring season for the hammock company. “We are honored and grateful for this award,” said Jackson. “We are so lucky to have such an organization just a few blocks up from the ENO offices and it seems like the momentum with this partnership is really cranking. I can’t wait to see what we can accomplish with The Conservation Alliance on our side!” Ben Colvin, Wild South’s Development Director, was similarly inspired by the award and hopes it will continue to raise awareness for the important work they are doing making lasting protections for the backcountry a reality. “ENO has become a major leader in the Southeast and we nominated them for this award because their campaigns have drastically raised awareness of our work to protect the last, best places,” he said. “Working with regional outdoor retailers like ENO forms a network through which we make a huge impact on the future of our mission and of the protection of wild places and wild things in the South." ENO, Black Diamond Equipment and The Forest Group will be presented their awards at The Conservation Alliance Breakfast during the Summer Outdoor Retailer Show on Thursday, August 7, 2014 at 7:00 am in Salt Lake City, UT.
