The Department of Natural Resources has added a two-day "GO-Get Outdoors" snowshoe making class at Sleepy Hollow State Park on Friday, Jan. 22, from 5 to 9 p.m., and Saturday, Jan. 23, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., as part of its winter season schedule.

The class will be held at the Sleepy Hollow State Park Headquarters, located at 7835 East Price Rd. in Laingsburg (Exit 91 off US-127, 20 miles north of Lansing).

Participants will learn how to weave one of two traditional wooden snowshoe designs. Clyde Risdon, owner of Risdon Rigs (www.risdonrigs.com), who designs and builds premier quality dogsled equipment and custom snowshoes, will be the instructor.

"This class provides participants another opportunity to 'GO- Get Outdoors' using snowshoes they made themselves," said Tim Machowicz, park supervisor.

The class fee is $172, which includes all necessary materials and equipment to make one pair of snowshoes, plus the cost of two Michigan resident daily entrance permits for the two-day course. If the vehicle has a 2010 annual permit, or the participant wishes to purchase an annual permit in-lieu of the daily $6 permits, the fee will be adjusted.

Class size is limited to six participants, and reservations are required. This class is recommended for participants ages 16 or older.
