Stefan Szumko announces two AVA special events
Washtenaw Wanderers President Stefan Szumko says:
Greetings Walking Fans! Now that walking season is here, we'd like to invite you to two delightful walks:
On Saturday, September 25, we'll be joining the Oktoberfest Celebration at the Saline Harvest of the Arts Festival in downtown Saline. Walk either a 5K or 10K route and work up an appetite for authentic German food and a thirst for authentic German bier. Enjoy music, arts, children's activities and more. Start your walk between 9am-noon and finish by 3pm. Meet at the Saline Farmer's Market on S. Ann Arbor St. which is a half block south of Michigan Ave. You can walk for free or for AVA Credit only ($3). We'll also have B-Awards from previous events on sale for various prices ($5 or less - we still have some Fairydoor Fridge Magnets, while supplies last). For more information - http://www.ava.org/gen3/data/
On Sunday, October 17, join us for our annual Colorwalk starting at the Leslie Science and Nature Center in Ann Arbor. The 10K route follows scenic nature trails for approximately 7K and is rated a 3 on a scale of 1-5 (1 being easiest)! The 5K route is also quite scenic. Jogging strollers are perfect for the youngsters. Wheelchairs will have difficulty on both routes. Park on the lawn in the lower field and start your walk on the front porch of the "Leslie House" between the hours of 10am-1pm. Walk for free, for AVA Credit Only ($3) or for this year's National Volkssport Month Patch ($7). http://www.ava.org/gen3/data/
Two of our Year-Round Events (YREs) will not be renewed for 2011 - Oakwoods Metropark and Dundee. So head on out and walk those for AVA Credit by the end of the year. We are, however, picking up five new YREs in 2011 - Brighton, Northville, Plymouth, Adrian, and Tecumseh. Visit the AVA website and click on the "Find Walking Events" in the left-side navigation bar to find out details for all these events.
We are looking forward to meeting you on the trail. Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, concerns, queries, or confessions!
