Demo Days:     Twice a year generally in early May and in mid June we hold canoe and kayak demo days.  This event is held at a local lake so that you the customer can try out a canoe or kayak for 5 to 10 minutes and get a feel for what you're looking for.  We call it the "try before you buy day."  On these days we have our expert staff on hand and we also invite the representatives of the canoe and kayak company's we sell from to attend and lend us a hand.
