Few experiences can compare to stomping across freshly fallen snow on a pair of snowshoes. Snowshoeing is an excellent way to relax and get excercise at the same time! Last year was a great year for snowshoeing; and, if the long range forcast holds, this year will be good as well. There are several snowshoe outings on the calendar of events.
As an added bonus, taking up the activity on a homemade pair of snowshoes makes it extra special. The Conservation Board is holding a snowshoe making class on Saturday, January 15 beginning at 10:00 a.m.
Styles available include Ojibway, Huron, and Bearpaw. The material cost for the class is $130. A kit includes frames made of white ash, nylon lacing and bindings. When completed, you will only need to varnish them annually to keep them in shape for a lifetime.
The kits will need to be ordered by December 20. Please call 712-295-7200 for more information or to reserve a spot in the class.
