Program: Expect the Unexpected—Canoe Encounters of the First Kind

We will kick off the paddling season in May with a special presentation by Debra Kolodczak, Ph.D.,American Studies, SUNY Buffalo. The event features case studies, film clips, and abundant imagery showing the surprising ways in which people use and imagine the canoe in North America.This presentation is derived from the author’s dissertation, entitled, Canoe Links: Work, Play, Symbol, and Show in North America’s Native/Newcomer Encounter.  The work has three goals: to raise the quality perception in the U.S. and Canada about the multivalent contributions that American Indians’ make to each nation's identity; to how the canoe links people to endeavors of work, play, symbol and
show; and, to see what is not always obvious when considering the ordinary canoe.

Education Workshop: Bicycle Maintenance - Changing Tires

Anyone who rides a bike occasionally, has a chance of having a flat tire.  We will discuss ways we can prevent some of those.  Then we will have a demonstration by a bike repair shop of the steps involved in changing and repairing a flat tire while on a ride.
