Event Information

Description
What is Canoecopia: The World's Largest Consumer Paddle and outdoor sport Expo. Filled with not just canoes, kayaks, Stand Up boards, paddle gear but also camping,winter sports equipment, apparel & footwear, speakers, exhibitors, and awesome attendees. First show was roughly 28 years ago. It has gotten bigger and better since then. For more information visit: www.canoecopia.com

What it entails: Get to Alliant energy center by 5:00 PM and help Rutabaga move gear back to the warehouse. You don't need any prior experience. You'll be organized into groups with Rutabaga employees who will make sure you do it right. If you need a ride, plan on showing up at the union at 4:30 PM. Being on schedule is important. I will try to organize drivers to get participants to/from Alliant Energy center from/to Memorial Union.

What you get:
 
(1) The Hoofers who volunteer will get a discount card and they can come to the Rutabaga store  and shop at the employee discount (usually around 30% or more).
(2) You'll also get a day pass to come to the show if any of you want to attend. They're great outdoor gear manufacturers visiting and a line up of highly informative and inspirational talks on the outdoors. (Visit the website for more details)
(3)  HOC gets to show support  and keep good standing  with the best local paddle sport store in town. Rutabaga has been giving HOC large discounts on gear for ages and also has loaned out equipment for big trips such as Fall Colors Kayaking and Canoeing. Further, many Hoofers work at Canoecopia. This would also be a great opportunity to give your friends within the club a hand especially when they're tired out from a long weekend. 
(4) A huge deposit into your water karma account.  Boating season is around the corner and you never know when you might need to make a big withdrawal.
