[Paddlewise] Minneapolis Boat Show

It's snowing here in the Twin Cities, so it must be time for the Minneapolis
Boat Show. This year, realizing how under-represented paddle sports had been
at previous shows, the producers donated a booth to the Minnesota Canoe
Association. In return, the MCA agreed to provide free programs related to
paddle sports. Inland Sea Kayakers, which is a chapter of the MCA, will have
a display there, and several of the speakers are ISK members (three are also
Paddlewisers). 

If you come to the show, stop by and say hello (we're in the lobby closest
to the parking ramp). Linda and I will be there most of the non-work hours
to answer questions about sea-kayaking, and Dana Dickson will lead off the
list of speakers at 6:00 tonight with a knot-tying class. Andy Knapp will
speak Friday about choosing a kayak. I will have several Greenland paddles
on display, and will talk about them Sunday. For more information, including
the full list of ISK speakers and topics, see
http://www.isk.canoe-kayak.org/events.html. 

BTW, it was interesting to see how the the paddle sports talks were played
up in the ad in this morning's paper. Maybe we're more important than we
knew.
