The 2009 Perrine Bridge Festival in Twin Falls, Idaho kicks off September 11th and continues through Saturday with lots of activities for kids and their families. With a passion for helping kids, Nikki and Miles Daisher hope to build on the $156,000 raised since starting the Perrine Bridge Festival in 2005. The Daisher's motto is "A Bridge to Success For Kids" and with the help of the local Twin Falls community they are creating a bridge of financial support for children of the Magic Valley who have special needs.
A pediatric occupational therapist, Nikki recognized that many children, due to financial constraints, go without proper care and equipment. Along with her husband Miles, a record holding base jumper who in 2005 jumped off of the Perrine Bridge 57 times in less than 24 hours, the Daisher's are a couple of ordinary people who, through their actions, have created something very extraordinary for the Twin Falls Comminity. (Just a foot note to the record set by Miles...Hiking out of the Snake River Canyon on his own after each jump was approximatley equal to hiking Mt Everest).
Festivites planned for this years Perrine Bridge Festival include: Base Jumping Exhibiton, Kids Fun Run, 5 and 10k Runs, Kids Carnival, Food and live Entertainment, Kayak and Canoe Rentals (which I highly recommend for an awesome view of the base jumpers), lunch at the Outback Steak House and a Juried Art Exhibition and auction. 
The Perrine Bridge Festival will take place at The Twin Falls Visitor Center located at the IB Perrine Bridge in Twin Falls, ID.
