Annual SDCA Conference
January 27, 2007
Each year the South Dakota Canoe Association sponsors an annual conference that brings paddlers together in anticipation of the coming season. The event this year is going to be held on January 27, 2007, at the Outdoor Campus in Sioux Falls. This setting is located at 4500 S. Oxbow Ave., telephone number 605-362-2777. This building is near the intersection of 49th and Louise Ave., a little SE of the Empire Mall, and alongside Sertoma Park. The event begins with registration at 12:20 p.m. The first program is at 12:40, and the conference concludes at 3:45.
This is really the only meeting of the SDCA, and it is a time to get to know some of the paddlers from throughout the state. Other club gatherings are in association with events or cruises. Dues to join the association are only $7.00 per year. Events for the upcoming year are initiated at this meeting, and there is generally interesting talk about past and upcoming cruises. It is a pretty laid back event, and the public is welcome.
I will be putting on a program taken from my blog: “Area Waterways.” There will be other programs as well, and there are usually some unique canoes or kayaks on display.
It will be good to meet people and get primed for spring/summer cruises ahead.

ReplyDeleteI just found your blog after doing many searches to find any sort of Kayaking groups in South Dakota.
I have just moved to sioux falls - and purchased an Old Town Cayuga 14.6 from the Sportsmans Warehouse.
I have enjoyed reading through your blog entries. I will use them as a resource when I'm able to get out onto the water. I would like to attend the SDCA meeting - but have a prior engagement.
Keep up the great entries, and I look forward to checking back for updates!
Have a great weekend -
