Red Barn at Wenatchee River Institute

With over 45 years of bicycle touring experience, Bob and Carolyn have some biking stories to share! They have ridden through cyclones, snowstorms, and mud wallows; with a baby, three teenagers, and with many families; on single bikes, on a tandem and on mountain bikes; as newlyweds, parents, and retirees; in campgrounds, wilderness, youth hostels and guesthouses; with laughter and with tears.
Join us for an evening of storytelling through photos and reflective memories highlighting how their touring has changed over the past four decades. They’ll share a bit about gear, how to take a bike on planes, trains, boats, escalators, and elevators, and bike touring resources to know about. If the snow’s not too deep, they’ll bring their loaded tandem.

Doors open at 6:30pm for a community social with beer, wine, sparkling water, and tea available for purchase. The presentation will start at 7:00pm.
Native plants aren’t only beautiful, they’re also essential for pollinators! Species like bees, butterflies, and other helpful invertebrates rely on these plants for food, habitat, and more. Our presenter, Angie Orpet from the Xerces Society, will discuss collaborative efforts made by Washington growers to conserve these important species. She’ll discuss how planting native plants and creating pollinator habitat on working lands can assist with crop production.
