Ice Skating
When: Sunday, 16 August @ 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM
Where: Reston SkateQuest, 1800 Michael Faraday Ct, Reston, VA
Website: http://www.skatequest.com/
Price: $8 adult admission, Children 12 & under are $7, and skate rentals are $4.
Meetup Page: http://www.meetup.com/NOVAfurs/events/224379873/
Cool down this summer by hitting the ice! Public skating at Reston SkateQuest is from 3:10 - 5:10 PM on Sunday the 16th.
We will meet in the lobby and find a spot among the bleachers in the NHL rink when skating opens.
NOTE: Fursuit accessories like ears, tails, and hand paws are okay, but please be mindful how tails, etc. might hinder your ability to skate. Please obey all skateguard requests - you may be asked to remove accessories that pose a danger to yourself or other skaters.
Depending on the turnout of this event, we may try to book the rink for events (with fursuits!) in the future.
Please keep in mind that the rink is not open for public skating until after 3:10, so try not to arrive earlier than 2:45. You can also arrive any time after the start and jump in until the session closes at 5:10 PM as well, so feel free to come for however long you like.
All are welcome - Ice skaters of various skill and experience can be expected, and while I will try my best to help get newcomers out on the ice there is only so much I can do as one person. Just take it slow and it should come to you as easy as riding a bike =3

Cost: ~$35
http://harpersferryadventurecenter......-water-tubing/
Either meet at our place (345 Whipp Dr, Leesburg) at 9:30am & caravan/carpool over at 10am; or meet at HFAC at 10:30am. We cannot wait for stragglers. Other carpool arrangements may be possible through the comments on this page.
MUST: Be able to swim; be able to paddle across a river with your hands; be willing to sign a waiver; have waiver signed by parent/guardian if under 18; have secure river footwear (recommended: old sneakers willing to ruin)
RECOMMENDED: SPF 50 sunblock (we like Target's Up&Up spray - on hands, then wipe on body); beach towel (over car seat on way back); bath towel (if planning to use our showers); swimsuit; light-colored t-shirt you're willing to ruin; brimmed hat you're willing to lose; head strap for glasses; change of clothes; be able to hike 1/4 mile uphill with tube after tubing; have breakfast and drink plenty before arriving.
Cost: Approximately $35 (prices on above webpage are not accurate). Make online reservation for self the night before the event when weather has been confirmed. Use promo code WALK5 to save $5 by walking 1/4 mile back to facility instead of using shuttle (see above). Rapids are class I-II (easy). In case of low river, may mean a bit of bottom-scraping, so participant should be strong enough to portage a little if necessary. We have two available luxury single tubes and one available luxury double-tube (couples); first RSVP & request, first-served.
River riding makes you hungry. Unofficial late lunch outing from our place afterwards; location & cost TBD, so be prepared for anything from IHOP to teppanyaki. For those coming back to our place after tubing due to carpool or lunch interest, we have two available showers for cleaning up (believe me, you'll need it).
For further rules and restrictions, see HFAC website.
