The first Saturday of March brings the annual Quiet Water Symposium to Michigan State University. It's a one day event that celebrates non motorized outdoor sports, with emphasis on paddling and wooden boats. Check out the website and consider attending if it's not too far away.

Quiet Water Symposium

Thanks, oldgentleman. I already posted about this, but no one commented, so I am glad to see it reposted with a link.

Will you be there? We hope to be there.

Planning on attending as well. I work for a Township just north of Lansing and looking to learn about canoe launch options. We are planning a new park on the looking glass and this conference should provide some good information.
