Sunset Happy Hour - Mixolo celebrates Fall's Equinox with Active Excursion...
Event Information
Description
Leave work on Friday, September 22, for an excursion with Mixolo.
Come meet future Mixolo host and founder of Active Excursions, Steve Kopelman, at the organization's outdoor learning center, Piedmont Learning Center, in Gwynn Oak, Maryland, only a few yards from the edge of northwest Baltimore City. It's an urban dweller's delight and getaway. As always, you can attend a Mixolo event with or without a plus-one. Come solo; you'll find your plus-some.
Couldn't get enough of the solar eclipse? Get out and celebrate fall's equinox, the moment the sun crosses the celestial equator – the imaginary line in the sky above the Earth’s equator – from north to south. Maybe not THE moment, but we'll celebrate the first day of fall with a cider toast (alcohol content, your choice) and take a short hike to take in the grounds of this hidden gem right outside of historic Dickeyville and flanked by the beautiful 64 acre Gwynn Oak Park. The sun sets at 7:02 PM that evening. Perfect.

Active Excursions and Mixolo will be partnering on events for the adventurous and the curious. Steve's company organizes innovative and personalized local, regional, national and international excursions for groups, from local hikes and kayaking adventures to traversing the Appalachian trail, exploring the Chesapeake Bay and scuba diving in the Bahamas.
If you can think of it, Active Excursions can make it happen. Active Excursions promotes outdoor and environmental education and responsible stewardship of the environment and our valuable natural resources, through experiential and FUN workshops and trips where people can find connection with others and with nature.
Active Excursions goes indoors, too. We'll book DIY activities at cool maker spaces and tech-leaning immersive adventures and simulations. Steve's target market, until Mixolo, has been primarily "corporate" or connected groups. He's ready to bring those same exceptional services to our groups of solos connecting likely for the first time.
Our caterer and yet another future Mixolo host:
Copper Kitchen, the Baltimore region's premier farm-to-table caterer, will regale us with in-season cider and light snacks. We'll provide a few beer and wine choices as well. Copper Kitchen is committed to sourcing ingredients locally. While Copper Kitchen's commissary is located in southwest Baltimore City, they have a notable presence at the Piedmont Learning Center Campus with a herb garden, the on-site apiary where they harvest they own honey, and a refurbished 160-year-old on-site smokehouse where they smoke our own meats.
