Suzanne Hutchinson, our fellow paddler and local Kokatat rep will be contacting a drysuit workshop at the Gould Barn in Topsfield Mass, on Wednesday evening September 29th at 6:30 pm. She will be demonstrating how to replace neck and wrist gaskets and provide information on how to properly take care of your dry suit. This popular workshop is a "do not miss" for anyone who owns a drysuit or is thinking about purchasing one.

Directions to Gould Barn:

From the south, take Rt. 1 north exit off of Route I-95. Follow that to Rt. 97 west into Topsfield. At the stop sign, the library will be on your left and a small side street immediately before the stop sign is on your right - that is East Common Street . Take a right onto this street and park in the lot on the right that is for the Emerson Center/Congregational Church.

From the north, take I-95 south to the Topsfield Rt. 97 exit. Proceed to Congregational Church on the right and Town Common on the left. Make a left turn onto Route 97 East, for 1/2 a second and then take a SHARP left onto East Common St and park in the lot on the right that is for the Emerson Center/Congregational Church.

There is some parking on the street or at the far left end of the church lot closest to the Barn.

Bring your drysuit if you have particular questions about it. I will then be able to see what you are talking about.

I will be bringing just what I need to change gaskets and talk about care of your drysuit. If anyone has any particular questions, or would like me to bring something else, better off e-mailing me directly.
