If you're looking for three hours of war stories about how Cousin Eddie got pinned on that nasty rock, this isn't the place. Just practical stuff you can use to lead your first, or 100th trip.

This program will be held indoor at Woodland Plastics and will precede the PSC fix-it clinic. Please make a day of it by joining us for both programs.
