Kayak, Climbing Wall, Fishing, Dragon Boats – FREE

Yep.  Free!  Did I mention Free.  The weather is warmer (ok so it is raining and I had to turn the heat on today to dry out the dampness in the house – but it is still warmer than January).  And that means it is time for outside fun.  To kick off the summer season and celebrate great outdoors week – check out the Venture Outdoors Festival on Saturday, May 21, 2011.

Each year – Venture Outdoors – kicks off the summer – by bringing out all the gear for you to try out almost everything they have to offer – for FREE.
