Expo Update

This should be a great event. We are working busily behind the scenes to prepare a fantastic expo for you. Here is what we know so far.

The Winter Expo featured speaker is Dr. John Francis. Dr. Francis is amazing – he has dedicated his life to changing the world by changing himself. Dr. Francis has travelled extensively by foot after giving up automobiles, and even gave up talking for 17 years! Fortunately for us he has broken his vow of silence and he will be speaking at the Winter Expo (for FREE). Spread the word – go ahead, it's ok, really it is . . . you may even speak if you must!!!

Dr. Francis got you thinking? Find out more about his life's journey at www.planetwalk.org. Watch a recent talk Dr. John gave – we have YouTube video on the Program Schedule Page.

Come and see Dr. John Francis on Sunday, November 23^rd from 3:00 to 4:30 at Willey Hall (just across the street on the U of MN's West Bank). Tickets are FREE plus you will receive a $5 coupon on the back of your ticket. Stop in to the store to get your free ticket(s)! Tickets will become available Saturday, October 18^th at 10:00 am.

Other featured presenters include Lonnie Dupre, Mike Farris, John Huston & Tyler Fish, Rod and Sharon Johnson, Dan Mazur, Claire Porter, Stephen Regenold, and Dave Watson. Jan is hard at work building the schedule of Expo programs - stay tuned for more details.

We'll see you at the Outdoor Adventure Expo!
