Supporting Big City Mountaineers

Posted May 13 2011 10:25am

If you’re in the Madison, Wisconsin area you can score some great deals on outdoor clothing and gear today through Sunday at a big new & used outdoor gear garage sale held outside Rutabaga Paddle sports shop.   I saw a cool purple $200+ Marmot jacket that will be going for $50.  No kidding, great deals!  OK, but maybe the more important thing here is that all the proceeds are going to support Big City Mountaineers .  You know about these folks right?  Here’s what they say, “Big City Mountaineers mentors under-resourced urban teens through transformative outdoor experiences to enrich lives, broaden horizons and instill critical life skills.”  My low-brow translation is that they help troubled teens find a new way to view themselves and the world around them with a bit of help from caring adults and the great outdoors. But here, why not watch the video…

The garage sale takes place at Rutabaga as I said.  It will be held at the old gas station next door to the shop.  Hours are: Friday (today) May 13th, 8am to 5pm. Saturday 8-5pm & Sunday 9am – 3pm.  Here’s A Map!

If you can’t make the sale, please consider donating as well .

Thank you!
