Plus, we’ll have refreshments provided by Karbach Brewing Co. & snacks too. The giveaway will be held this evening at the end of the presentation. Each week we take a topic, drill down as quick & deep as we can, to get you up to speed and out playing. We’ll take Q&A after the presentation to help guide everyone into outdoor fun mastery.
