Bring your kid fishing!

We'll spend a few minuets talking about equipment, bait and types of fish, then we'll head out to a local pond to catch some fish (probably not trophy bass).  We'll show you how to bait your hook and take fish off the hook. We'll do it for you if you're not comfortable.  At the end of the day you'll get to keep all of the gear that you used.

Cost $75 per adult with 1 child,

​          +$25 for each additional child.

Driveway brake job. 
We’ll show you how to safely jack up your car, remove the wheels, then replace the brake pads and brake rotors.  We do this without special mechanic tools or lifts.  We’ll do it right in the driveway using the car’s factory jack and tools that can be purchased inexpensively or borrowed from the local auto parts store.  Most brake jobs (front or rear) can be done at a cost of around $100 in parts.  Wear old clothes, you’ll be getting dirty.  First we show you, then you do it yourself with supervision.

Touch a Gun – No live fire 
Have you ever be curious about what it would be like to hold a gun? What it would feel like to carry a handgun in a concealed holster? 

Many people fear guns simply because they've never actually held one.  Guns are simply mechanical devices, no different than a can opener or a cordless drill.  You'll learn how various types of handguns, shot guns and rifles function and give you a chance to safely handle, aim, and dry fire (pull trigger with no bullets in gun). You'll even have the option to handle the mighty "assault weapon"   We’ll discuss basic gun safety and how to move towards gun ownership for those interested.
