Episode #2: Spokane Hoopfest

On this episode of the PNW Community Dreams podcast we sit down with Spokane Hoopfest's Executive Director, Matt Santangelo, and discuss how Hoopfest has created such a large community event all revolving around the love of basketball. Hoopfest is the largest 3on3 outdoor basketball tournament in the world held here in our home town, Spokane, WA. For one weekend a year the whole downtown shuts down, with over 6,000 teams, 3,000 volunteers, 225,000 fans and 450 courts spanning 45 city blocks, basketball dominates the city. We dive into talking about how Hoopfest got started, how they bring the community together and how we all can benefit from giving back. We learned a lot being able to talk with Spokane Hoopfest and hope you do too! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/alexander-quine/support
