Our friend Dale Sanders is a living legend in the adventure world. We are excited to host a screening of his feature length documentary.
Dale “Greybeard” Sanders became a Guinness World Record holder to become the oldest person to paddle the 2,340-mile-long Mississippi River in a canoe at 87 years old! Greybeard reminds us not to take life too seriously. Even when things are tough it’s important to remain positive. He shows us how a man who’s 87 years old can have a motto that says “someday I’ll get old.”
Film begins at 7 pm. Social begins at 6:30 pm. Q & A to follow at 8:30 pm. Drinks and snacks available. Program is free but tips are appreciated
