New levels this year include business level memberships, VIP (which includes free wine, beer and catered food) and packages.  All proceeds benefit the not for profit organization Human Access Project.
Highlights of this year’s TBF include – take out beach party on the west bank at Tom McCall Bowl (where the Blues Festival is held), supervised storage (for towels, etc), three bands on a barge, free chair massages and two big fun inflatable bounce houses for the kiddos!  Arrangements have been made with the Coast Guard to improve time into the water significantly.  Unlike last year, this year we will not attempt to set a world record for floaters in a line – we broke that last week!

Portland set the World Record!
Friday, July 5th, 2013 Human Access Project partnered with World Domination Summit to shatter the world-record for “Most People in a Floating Line.”
The previous record was set in 2008 by 542 people in Viareggio, Italy.  The new record (pending Guinness verification  is 620).  Big thanks to local Portland high tech company GigaPan who provided an very cool panaramic shot which can be seen here
