            <p>It’s been a thrill for us to sponsor Helen Thayer’s numerous appearances throughout the year.  Book signings.  Speaking on the Get Out More Tour.  Working with the Girl Scouts.  So far, we’ve had a busy year together, and enjoying every minute of it.  We’re looking forward to the rest of 2010, too, including Helen’s upcoming appearances with the CORDURA® brand team in Asheville, NC in May in conjunction with Mast General Store to benefit the Manna Food Bank. And of course, her numerous outreach events  in Salt Lake City, UT, at the Summer Outdoor Retailer Show.  Be sure to check out Helen's latest radio interviews in NPR (<a href="http://kcpw.org/blog/local-news/2010-01-19/adventurer-helen-thayer-describes-her-trek-with-charlie/" target="" class="">Utah-KCPW-radio</a>) and NPR (<a href="http://kcpw.org/blog/local-news/2010-01-20/global-trekker-helen-thayer-opens-2010-nature-of-things-lecture-series/" target="" class="">Utah-KCPW-Nature of Things Lecture Series</a>).   </p>
