It's Not About the Hike
Thursday, May 16 at 6:30 - Freedom Town Hall
On Thursday, May 16, at 6:30 p.m., in the Town Hall on Elm Street in Freedom , New Hampshire, the Friends of the Freedom library is hosting Nancy Sporborg and Pat Piper who will speak on " It's Not About the Hike". These two women from Keene have hiked more than 200 mountains since 2006 - they're real peak baggers - having previously been non-hikers. They've climbed all 67 4,000 foot peaks in New England, and they hike year-round. But it's not about the hike. It's about getting out of your comfort zone, sharing friendship and joy, learning how to love yourself and so much more. Come join us! Light refreshments will be served after this free program and the hall is handicapped accessible. Questions? Call the library at 539-5176.
