Since Nordic Walking is rooted in the soil of Finland, Norway and Sweden, it is a natural that it would be part of a Scandinavian event. The popular festival, originally held in September or October, has now been moved to mid-summer. Pete Edwards, who is single-mindedly passionate about fixed-length poles, will bring a quiver of his poles for festival-goers to "test drive," will talk about walking with poles and also will conduct introductory SkiWalking sessions on Saturday and Sunday (19-20).
Admission is $6 on Friday afternoon/evening, $8 all day Saturday or Sunday, and $15 for a weekend pass. For other information, contact the festival coordinator at 716-484-0415.
