This event will happen rain or shine!
The Station and Silver Birch Cycles are stoked to present the first annual ADK Outdoor Expo & Community Gear Swap. The event takes place on the 7 acre grounds of The Station in Onchiota NY. There will be a full day's schedule of outdoor skills workshops and gear demos from regional outdoor vendors, outdoor groups and conservation organizations. Live music, tasty food, art, games and fun stuff for all ages.
The gear swap part of the event happens from 11-1:00. Bring your used but still highly usable outdoor gear to sell or swap with your friends and neighbors. No fees are charged to sell your personal gear. You handle your own transactions person to person. A small fee is required for retail vendors.
​​
The Station is located 1/4 mile form the Buck Pond public campsite. Stay the whole weekend and take advantage the local offerings of hiking biking and paddling.

Someday soon there will be a semi slick registration form here. Joy! For now just send us a message using the contact form at the bottom of this page. You are NOT required to register to sell or swap your own private gear. It would be a lot cooler if you did though so we know how many people to make space for. You ARE required to register and pay a small fee if you will be selling things as a for profit retail vendor.
Here is the current list of the retail vendors and organizations who will be at the event. This list gets updated every few days. Send us a message if you would like to have a booth at the event.
