In response to Herbert's request, outdoor retailer Patagonia vowed not to attend this year's Outdoor Retailer marketplace, which is scheduled to kick off July 26. The Outdoor Industry Association said Monday that Outdoor Retailer is looking to relocate its future showcases because of concerns about Utah's land preservation policies. "Like oil and gas, the outdoor industry has a voice too," Peak CEO Peter Dering wrote in a blog post. Governor Herbert said on Twitter Friday that he plans to meet with outdoor industry executives on the issue. Next week, I'll meet with outdoor industry execs & I'm optimistic we will come together.
