For the last After Dark event of the season, we’re kickin’ it country-style.
Break out your boots and get ready to two-step and line dance to our live band, or challenge your friends to a game of cornhole or horseshoes.
Plus, see who can stay on our mechanical bull for the longest ride! Some of our favorite party animals will also visit Masihara Pavilion so guests can learn more about them and the important role we all play in saving animals in the wild.
Price is reflective of online purchase and includes event entry and activities plus one drink. Online sales end at 12:00 p.m. on the day of the event. Tickets are available for $45 at the door. Additional food and beverage available for purchase.
Join REI staff to learn about the basics of hiking with dogs. This class will help you plan a successful hike for you and your canine companion. They will review where to go, what to bring for you and your pup, and what you may encounter on the trail. They will talk about where to find dog-friendly parks – local, state-wide and nationally. Having the right equipment is critical, so they will discuss gear, as well as safety and comfort items you’ll need to bring along to make a safe, enjoyable hike for both you and your dog. Learn how to travel on trails with your dog in a way that makes the least impact on the natural area, including wildlife. Attendees are encouraged to bring all of their hiking with dogs questions, but unfortunately due to classroom constraints, they ask that you do not bring your non-service animals.
