It's Sport Show and Boundary Waters Night Time Again - 2020

Written By Kevin Lynch

Boundary Waters Nights

In the coming weeks, you will see our invitation asking you to join us for a Boundary Waters Night in your area.  You say to yourself, “What is a Boundary Waters Night anyway?”  Cause, heck you don’t want to go and get some kind of sales pitch.  Well here is the scoop.

What is a Boundary Waters Night?

Boundary Waters Nights were invented 24 years ago as a way to accomplish several things.  First, we want to create an excuse for Boundary Waters enthusiasts to get out of the house on a winter’s night and mingle with others in your area that have a similar love and passion for the outdoors.   While, we will admit to having a lot of fun in the process, we also want to provide some learning opportunity for our guests.

So as a part of every Boundary Waters Night we have two presentations.  First, is a great slide show that serves as an introduction to the Boundary Waters.  If you have never been there, this is for you.  Even if you have been there a hundred times, it is fun to see the slides of the area and get revved up for the next season.   The second part is a 20 to 30-minute seminar that covers some aspect of a Boundary Waters trip. 

Some years we talk about packing light, portages, fishing, and maybe wildlife photography.  These are designed to be useful for everyone; experienced and neophyte alike.Then there are the door prizes.  Your chance to win a $100.00 Bending Branches paddle is worth attending just in and of its self. 

Finally, refreshments are served and a chance to mingle with others.  All in all, it’s a great night.  Please join us if you can.  It is a great chance to figure out how to get a trip off the ground if it’s your first time, and a great time to recharge your batteries if you are an old timer.

Sport Shows

Every year, Blayne and Dave pack up the booths and head to a Sport Show near you.  We hope you come visit us at one of these shows.  It is a great opportunity to visit with us about planning your next canoe trip adventure into the Boundary Waters or Quetico
