An Outdoors Adventure Alternative To Black Friday Shopping

Many people look forward to the sales and deals offered by retailers on Black Friday. Then there are those individuals who want nothing to do with the hustle and bustle or large, and sometimes unruly crowds. 

There is good news for the latter individuals, Friends of the St. Clair River is offering a unique alternative for those who would much rather be out and about in nature. They are holding their annual Opt Outside Hike on Friday, November 25th, at 10 AM, located at Columbus County Park. 

The event is free and features options for self-led quests, guided hikes, and a children’s scavenger hunt. Guests are encouraged to wear boots and proper clothing to hike through terrain such as hills, woodlands, and wetlands. There will also be a large bonfire with s’mores and hot cocoa, along with a 20oz insulated tumbler available for purchase. 

Guests are encouraged to register by November 21st at: scriver.org.
