Tuesday Night Workshops!

There were a few things I kept in my back pocket all the years I worked for other people. Special and creative ideas I wanted to save for when I had my own operation. Classes and Clinics are one of those aces.

This is a small store catering to the community around us. Holding free workshops on an array of topics was greatly received from the get-go. Some of the first newspaper articles about us written months before the store actually opened highlighted this offering. So far the Tuesday night clinics have been going well, and like anything offered for free, sometimes there have been crowds and sometimes we get to head to the Kitchen Lounge for quesedilla night a bit early! By far the most popular clinic has been Cooking in the Outdoors. Many people come into the store and look at all the food we carry and wonder how they taste. This clinic satisfies their wondering by allowing them to sample the food hot out of the bag or pot. Soon a new lineup of topics will be added to the mix, so pay attention to the website!

While on the classes topic, remember that we will be offering free kayak demos as well as an introduction to kayaking class ($30 per person) all winter long. Our 2008 demo models are almost all here! We can offer these classes and demos all winter because we are good friends with a diving company here in town (Aquatic Adventures) and are able to utilize their pool.  A much better option to get wet than the goose poo strewn shores of some local waterway....yuck!
So keep checking our calendar for all the new classes and clinics to come!

New Commercial

Within the next week or so, our new radio commercial will be airing on CD101.  Tune your radios on the weekends to CD101 and you should hear the spot.  Also, it was great to be able to use our band, Jovial Flow's, music in the background.  It is from the album that we are currently recording. 

On a side note, Matt was married this past week to Meg (our graphic artist and designer) and in honor of that, throughout the month of Oct, save 10% when you buy a set of 2 backpacks or shoes.  Print out this blog entry and bring it to the store to receive your discount.
