On Saturday March 3rd I will be attending the 2018 Quiet Water Symposium.  The Quiet Water Symposium (QWS) is a gathering dedicated to non-motorized transportation in the outdoors including biking, sailing, backpacking, and especially canoeing & kayaking.  QWS takes place at the Michigan State University Livestock Pavilion at 4310 Farm Lane Road in East Lansing.  Tickets for adults are $10, $5 for students with an ID, and free for kids 12 and under.

This year there are over 160 different vendors/exhibitors setting up at QWS.  In addition to the vendor there are thirty-three presentations scheduled over the course of the day.  QWS is a great event whether you are new to paddling and hiking or if you have been doing them for decades.  

This year I can be found in one of three places - helping sell axes and other outdoor equipment at the LeValley Outdoors booth, manning a table for the Chippewa Watershed Conservancy (CWC), or at the booth for the Michigan Alliance for Environmental and Outdoor Education (MAEOE).
