Hi and welcome to our page,
MISSION STATEMENT:
“To provide top notch event entertainment in varying themes and provide service to the community at an affordable rate for all to enjoy.”
FOUNDER:
The founder Brad Calkins started the business by initiating the first “Bringin’ The Heat Summer Classic” baseball tournament. Growing up enjoying an avid athletic and musical background thought of an ide
a to bring these loves together and provide a service to the community. Brad, a college baseball at Idaho State University, moonlighted on weekends as the lead singer for a local band Midnight Blue. The past several years he has worked as a high school Business Teacher and Varsity High School Baseball coach. These past five years Brad has coached at Post Falls High School as the Pitching Coach and also been the Head Coach of the American Legion “A” team the Prairie Cardinals. My family works diligently bringing many local vendors together in the community to provide a top flight concession services and catering available at the events presented. SERVICES:
Our organization provides a numerous type of outdoor and indoor activity management. Specializing in youth baseball and basketball tournaments. We specialize in putting on a professionally run atmosphere, instead of being organized by a local governing body which at times can appear to have an ulterior agenda and provide relief of conflict of interest. In addition to the athletic field we represent up and coming musical groups, comedians and art dealers looking to promote their brand. These are provided in the form of outdoor concerts, festivals (IE: Arts in the Park) and other activities. EVENTS
The first event sponsored by Cascade Event Management was/is the “Bringin’ The Heat Summer Series”. The first tournament was targeted at mainly local teams of the 14/15 age group to give them an alternative to costly out of town tournaments. In addition to the savings rendered, word got around of the excited atmosphere during the tournaments. There was a number of times people from other areas asked me to organize tournaments at varying locations because they like the “Rock n Roll” atmosphere during the tournaments, it was more than just playing games it was an event. That was the goal we operated under when we started the first tournament and still strive for today. Continuing to grow and provide a wanted service to our local and many other communities as well. Teams that have participated to date come from but not limited to: Moscow, Lewiston, Boise, Coeur d’alene, Post Falls, Rathdrum, Spirt Lake, ID; Great Falls, Missoula, Bozeman, MT; and Trail, BC and Medicine Hat, AB to name a few. STAFF
The organization is family operated and run. We provide services to: Outdoor Concerts, and Art in the Park type festivals, as well the youth baseball and basketball tournaments. We offer on hand management services and are available and on site at any event that we run. No staff members have anyone participating in any of our events that we sponsor or organize. This is an advantage over others in that it prevents a conflict of interest that can crop up with local governing bodies. Thanks and look forward to seeing your teams this year. There is a new website under construction, but this page is available until then. Sincerely,
Tracie Brown
