The U.S. National Whitewater Center Announces Girls' Day Out Event
Charlotte, NC, September 04, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The U.S. National Whitewater Center will be holding 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 the USNWC website by September 21st.
