Girls' Day Out, Saturday, September 26th, an event designed
specifically for women. The one-day event gives women the opportunity
to participate in a variety of the USNWC's activities, as well as
activities unique to the event.
"We wanted to give women an opportunity to get together with their
mothers, sisters or best friends and enjoy a range of fun, lively
activities together," said Melissa Scheneman, USNWC Advertising and
Promotions Manager.
The event starts with registration at 8 am and morning activities
include clinic sessions where women choose two activities from:
whitewater kayaking instruction, flatwater kayaking instruction, a
climbing clinic, a yoga class sponsored by the Charlotte Yoga Club and
a Zumba class taught by Queen City Dancing Queen.
Afternoon events include Redwood Creek wine tastings with food
pairings provided by US Foodservice, beer sampling sponsored by
Heineken and MillerCoors, a cooking demonstration by Earth Fare, and a
variety of healthy living booths.
This is the second time this year the USNWC will be holding Girls' Day
Out. After an overwhelming response for the June event, the
Whitewater Center was encouraged to repeat the success by Charlotte
women who were not able to get tickets in time.
Girls' Day Out costs $40 plus $5 parking fee. Participants will
receive $5 off a purchase of an AllSport pass. Space is limited; those
wishing to participate should register at www.usnwc.org by September
21st.
