One of the sure signs of spring is Canoecopia, the annual Rutabaga water sports extravaganza at the Alliant Energy Center, March 11 - 13. It’s 3 full days of exhibitors, vendors and sales, and exciting presentations and travelogues to enjoy. More info is at https://www.rutabaga.com/canoecopia/page.asp?pgid=1001.
With a great outdoors and water loving crowd, it’s a good audience for us to talk about our activities and work to protect the outdoors and get people out to explore and enjoy it, and in particular, our work to provide better access for all. We’ll also have brochures from our River Touring Section about the paddling expeditions and clinics they offer which are very popular and a great way for people to get involved with the Sierra Club.
