If you’re in the Madison, Wisconsin area you can score some great deals on outdoor clothing and gear today through Sunday at a big new & used outdoor gear garage sale held outside Rutabaga Paddle sports shop.   I saw a cool purple $200+ Marmot jacket that will be going for $50.  No kidding, great deals!  OK, but maybe the more important thing here is that all the proceeds are going to support Big City Mountaineers.  You know about these folks right?  Here’s what they say, “Big City Mountaineers mentors under-resourced urban teens through transformative outdoor experiences to enrich lives, broaden horizons and instill critical life skills.”  My low-brow translation is that they help troubled teens find a new way to view themselves and the world around them with a bit of help from caring adults and the great outdoors. But here, why not watch the video…

The garage sale takes place at Rutabaga as I said.  It will be held at the old gas station next door to the shop.  Hours are: Friday (today) May 13th, 8am to 5pm. Saturday 8-5pm & Sunday 9am – 3pm.  Here’s A Map!

If you can’t make the sale, please consider donating as well.

Thank you!
