Tonight is the River Alliance of Wisconsin's Wild and Scenic Film Festival. The films begin at 6:30pm at the Majestic Theater downtown Madison. I've been to the past two festivals and the films are always inspirational and entertaining, plus proceeds go to the River Alliance. Check out this year's selection here. Wisconsin River Alliance
Enjoy a beer and a chance to win some door-prizes during the show! We will be there!
I'll be boarding a jet-plane to Colorado this weekend for some snowy fun, but, for those who are left behind here are several opportunities to entertain yourself.
CANOECOPIA- at the Alliant Energy Center. If you are in the market for new spring toys, go purchase that new Stand-Up-Paddleboard or a new paddle for your kayak or do some browsing of all the newest gear! If you are not interested in spending loads of money, there are presentations through the day ranging from Wilderness First Aid to Yoga for Kayaking to Stories of Paddling in New Zealand or Paddling the Yukon River. It costs $10.00 to get into CanoeCopia but once you are in, all presentations are free. Plus you can get a beverage and some nachos for the shows. mmm...nachos.
Last year Mike and I watched the film- Tales of the Last River Rat featuring Kenny Salwey. He is back this year and will be presenting his film Saturday at 2:30pm and 3:30pm and also Sunday at 12:30pm.
Kenny Salwey has lived close to the land on the Mississippi river and is an expert trapper, fisherman, hunter and herb collector. He is an author, woodsman and river guide and I think he would get a long quite well with my father. BBC-Natural World-Mississippi, Tales of the Last River Rat
The film is beautifully put together and would get even those who love winter the most ready for spring.
Bike-O-Rama- at the Alliant Energy Center Arena Building. Looking for a new bike?
My sister bought her bike at Bike-O-Rama last year and got a great deal! Bike-O-Rama is free to enter and right next to CANOECOPIA so you can hit both with one stone. BikeORama
Madison Rally for your Rights-Tractorcade
Farmers will be joining the rally on the square this Saturday around 12:00-noon and they're bringing their tractors! I think it's obvious that our rural communities will be hurt by the cuts Scott Walker is proposing to education, BadgerCare and the Buy Local Buy Wisconsin program. Come out and join them to help support the working and middle class families in Wisconsin. When you're done rallying in solidarity with our local farmers, please remember to support them by continuing to buy local!! I wonder if Joel Salatin will fly in and join the party....
MACSAC ( Madison Area Community Supported Agriculture Coalition) CSA Open House.
This Sunday from 1-4pm at the Monona Terrace. This is a free opportunity to come meet local farmers that provide CSA shares! Learn about your options for a CSA-share this year and sign up!
This reminds me that Mike and I need to sign up for our CSA this year...before all the shares are taken.
Don't forget that your Health Insurance Company might reimburse you for a portion of your share! It's good for you and good for our local farmers!
