Join Women Outdoors members at a public event
The Outdoor Expo held by the Genesee Valley Chapter of the Adirondack Mountain Club is a fun annual event at the Beach Area of Mendon Ponds Park. You can attend for the whole day or just an hour or two. There will be themed hikes, nature walks, workshops and demos led by various clubs, and kayaks and other gear to try out. In between you can hang out with other Women Outdoors members.

This year we'll have a booth representing our Women Outdoors club. The booth will be a good place for members to meet and decide who wants to attend which events together. We don't know yet exactly where ours will be located in the row of club booths: spaces are first come first served, so we'll find an available spot to set up in. You can recognize us by our big Women Outdoors banner.
We'd also love some help at the booth. If you can hang out for an hour, let us know!
New to this park? It's a big park so check out the park map and other park info first. The beach area is on the east side of Hundred Acre Pond, in the northern half of the park. The Mendon Ponds Beach parking lot is the best place to aim your GPS.

- Gear for activities you might choose to participate in: hiking boots, poles, etc. Kayaks and other boats will be provided by vendors to try out, but you can bring your own PFD and paddle if you prefer.
- Gear for the weather: sunscreen, bug spray, sunglasses, hat, rain gear.
- A lawn chair, and whatever else you need for comfort while for hanging out.
