Your weekend plans served: Outdoor Adventure Expo

I couldn't even begin to cover half of the presentations, speakers, demos and exhibitors scheduled this weekend for Midwest Mountaineering's Outdoor Adventure Expo. I certainly won't be able to attend all the ones that I'd like to. So help a guy out and go to the Expo yourself. We'll compare notes and share our goodie-bags afterwards.
A few recommended picks:
"Canoeing Wabakimi Wilderness Park" – The 5-million acre Canadian wilderness area that saw only 700 paddlers last year. Biologist Bruce Hyer will unpack a headful of knowlege about all the natural wonders there (I have to say it again, 'FIVE. MILLION').
"Backcountry Baking Demonstration" – A hands-on workshop with NOLS Instructors Rich Brame and Kary Sommers. Participants will learn how to make amazing things happen with their camp cooking.
"BWCA Trip Planning" – Some of my dearest friends here in UpNorthica, have never actually been in the Boundary Waters. Take this opportunity and learn how to make your first trip, a good one. Bert Heep of Piragis Northwoods Company will unpack a headful of knowledge and you'll know just what to pack.
