Linn

Snowshoe Building Class REGISTRATION DEADLINE is December 3rd!

Tuesday, December 11, 2018

Linn County Conservation will again offer the opportunity to build a pair of traditional snowshoes. Conservation Education Specialist Chuck Ungs will guide participants through the snowshoe-building process. These sets would make a unique gift, functional tools or can be used as a grand decoration.Participants should plan to attend the evening sessions on Tuesdays, December 11, 18 as well as Thursday, December 13. With some time invested at home, kits can be completed around New Year’s. Additional evenings will be needed to varnish the shoes at the Conservation Department shop at 3173 Highway 13. For best results, a minimum of three to four of these evenings will be required to varnish the shoes properly. Registration and payment must be made by December 3rd so the kits can be ordered. The $220 class fee includes the cost of a snowshoe kit, a binding set and varnish for each participant. To pre-register or for more details and options, call Chuck Ungs at 319-892-6485.  Attendance at all three lacing sessions is highly recommended. Kit building typically requires the manual dexterity of someone high school age or older. Class size is limited.
