Come on out to the north end of Creve Coeur Lake Park for Alpine Shop's annual Demo Days on Saturday and Sunday, May 14-15, 2011. Not only is this our largest paddle demo weekend of the year, we'll also have the demo team from Specialized Bicycles on hand to give you your first shot at riding our newest line of bikes! There's no reason to guess at which boat or bike will work best for you. Just come out this weekend and test to your heart's content. Registration is just $5 AND you'll receive a free $10 gift card to Alpine Shop at the lake just for signing up. (You're making $5 on the deal!)

If you're in the market for a new kayak or canoe, you'll have a chance to paddle more boats this weekend than you will have at any other point for the rest of this calendar year. While we continually hold demo nights throughout the summer, those events won't have any where near the same amount of craft at your paddle-tips as you'll find here. We expect to have representatives from Current Designs, Dagger, Hobie, Perception, Wenonah and Wilderness Systems. And we'll also have boats from Jackson, Old Town, Native and LiquidLogic at the lake as well. There is no better time to try before you buy.

This weekend, Specialized's demo crew will be at Creve Coeur Lake with us, giving you a chance to pedal your next new bike. We'll be featuring hybrid bikes this weekend, so if you're in line for a bike that you can use for fitness, work commuting or just playing with your kids, these bikes are perfect for you.

Did we mention free hot dogs for all?

On-Line Registration

This year, for the first time, you can save time on-site and register on-line! All you need to do is register below, print and fill out your waiver form and bring it and your ticket to the event and exchange it for your wristband. If you don't feel like that helps you at all, feel free to register with us at the lake on the day(s) of the event.

Save time and avoid waiting by bringing your own personal flotation device and/or paddle. Cyclists should bring their own helmet.
