Adventure lovers! Don’t let bad weather or lack of appropriate gear stop you from getting outside this year! Join us this spring at our next bi-annual Gear Swap at Curiosi-Tea House in Winona, MN. With all the stoke for an early spring, this is your chance to browse our selection of gently used outdoor gear and clothing. Make the most of your outdoor adventures!

Looking for affordable and gently used items? Check out our Gear Swap! We have a wide range of spring and summer clothing, gear, off-season items, and dollar bins. And while you're here, don't forget to grab a cup of coffee, tea, or a bite to eat at Curiosi-Tea House. We want you to have the best experience possible!

Enlightened Equipment, a Minnesota-based camping gear company, has donated a handful of ultralight sleeping quilts to the Gear Swap. Proceeds from the sale of these items will be donated to our organization! (Thank you, EE!)

Winona Hatchery, an independently-owned clothing and gear store in Winona, will be tabling at the event and selling discounted merchandise.

Rose Colored Glass will also be tabling the event, showcasing its services, and selling nature-themed merchandise.

What’s Included

Access to affordable, thrifted outdoor clothing and gear as well as a range of organizations/businesses sharing resources or sellable materials with attendees. Coffee, tea and food available for purchase at Curiosi-Tea to enjoy while shopping

Parking Instructions

Park either alongside 5th Street or Baker. Keep an eye out for passing vehicles and enter into Curiosi-Tea House either using the wheelchair accessible ramp on Baker Street or the front door entrance on 5th Street.

Are there bathrooms available?

Yes! There are gender-free bathrooms at Curiosi-Tea that are ADA accessible and provide space for families with care needs for young children.

If you have gently used gear and clothing that you would like to sell or donate, you can bring it to us a week before or the day of the sale. Our team will take care of the selling process for you, so you don't have to worry about anything.

Gear swaps are a fantastic alternative to traditional purchasing and selling methods. They provide a more ethical option for selling outdoor gear because they promote reuse and reduce waste. By participating in a gear swap, you can give your unused gear a second life and ensure that it will be used and appreciated by someone else.

Intake Process - Week Before Event

We'd be grateful if you could drop off your items with our team members during the week leading up to the sale. Doing so gives us enough time to inspect and price the items before the big day. You can collect your items and drop them off at 366 E 3rd Street, Winona, MN - just remember to park in the Watkin's Parking lot before heading to the garage entrance. We'll collect gear swap items from Monday, April 15th, to Friday, April 19th, from 4:00 PM to 6:30 PM.

Intake Process - Day of Event

If you can't make it to the drop-off zone a week before the swap, don't worry! You can still drop off your items on the day of the sale. Simply drop off your items at Curiosi-Tea House in Winona, MN between 10 AM to 1 PM. However, please note that we will not accept consignment items during the last hour.

We will have a variety of organizations and businesses present at the event, showcasing resources and merchandise for attendees to purchase. If you're interested in selling items or setting up a table, please contact us for more information by sending an email to info@winonaoutdoorcollaborative.com.

Join our next Wilderness Weekend program for a beginner look at wildlife ecology as we observe landscapes within the driftless region and hypothesize about what animal survival has looked like over time. This family friendly event will take place at Farmers Park in Stockton, MN where we will observe the environment around us, discuss different animals found in the area, and determine what factors impact animal populations and the important role each species plays in an ecosystem.

The goal of this program is to engage children, families, and active adults by discussing wildlife populations throughout time, observing the surrounding landscapes, and determining the four basic needs for animal survival. During this program, attendees will gain knowledge regarding animals' access to resources in the driftless region and will be given the opportunity to hypothesize how animal survival has changed over time and what factors may influence those changes.

Meeting Location: The park's address is Farmers Community Park, 23011 County Road 120, Winona, MN 55987. You can find us at the first shelter on the left-hand side as you enter the park.

Free to Attend!

Is your puffy loosing insulation, or have you found an extra hole or two in your favorite pair of mittens? Now’s the time to gear up before snow begins to blanket the bluffs!

Join the Winona Outdoor Collaborative, in partnership with Curiosi-Tea House, at their second annual Gear Swap this November. This season’s gear swap will focus on winter clothing and gear to help fuel you for your cold-season adventures. We will also have some out-of-season items available for sale. Don’t forget to check out our dollar bins where you can find outdoor clothing at affordable prices ($2 - $5), and swing by our gear table to find some great deals on thrifted outdoor equipment waiting for it’s second chance at life.

Are you looking to sell some of your gently used outdoor gear and clothing? Let us take the hassle out of selling your gear by dropping it off at our shop the week before the sale.

1. Collect your gently used or new gear or outdoor clothing and drop it off at 366 E 3rd Street (GARAGE ENTRANCE PLEASE!!) the week before the sale. Park in the Watkin’s Parking lot before heading to the garage where we will be collecting gear swap items. Collection times are Monday, October 30 to Friday, November 3 between 4 - 6 pm.

2. When you arrive, a WOC staff member will fill out an intake form with you, noting which equipment you brought to the gear swap and collecting your contact information. To sell gear, there is a $3/item charge with a maximum charge of $18/household. If you would prefer to donate your gear to the gear swap, you will receive a tax receipt for the estimated total value of the gear.

3. From there, your items will be inspected and priced by a WOC staff member and added to the gear swap inventory. All equipment is tagged with a number that is associated with your intake form so we can properly provide payment for items following the gear swap.

4. As customers shop and purchase items, WOC staff members will match all sold items with the proper intake form. All sales will be reimbursed as a check payment within a month of the gear swap.

5. After the gear swap, anyone who has items left in the swap that DID NOT sell will be contacted with a deadline to pick up their gear. If gear is not picked up by this date, it will be considered a donation.

What’s Included: Access to affordable, thrifted outdoor clothing and gear as well as a range of organizations/businesses sharing resources or sellable materials with attendees. Coffee, tea and food available for purchase at Curiosi-Tea to enjoy while shopping

Parking Instructions: Park either alongside 5th Street or Baker. Keep an eye out for passing vehicles and enter into Curiosi-Tea House either using the wheelchair accessible ramp on Baker Street or the front door entrance on 5th Street.

Join us for an afternoon of biking. The fun kicks off at Island City Brewing Company where our skilled volunteers will guide you through a bike tune-up to ensure a smooth ride. So, BYOB (bring your own bike) and embark on a group “no drop ride” to the Flyway Trail to explore and learn about local birdlife and sloughs. You might be wondering what “no drop” means. This is a ride where no one gets left behind if a rider isn’t able to hold the pace or have a mechanical issue. This is a great opportunity to try out biking because it’s more conducive to learning how to safely ride in a group. The ride ends back at Island City with a community social, featuring insights from folks in the biking community. All skill levels are invited and welcome!

The Winona Outdoor Collaborative's Pedals & Pints event was designed to bring cis women, trans women and men, and non-binary individuals together around the sport of road and gravel biking. Regardless of skill level or identity, we welcome all riders to attend this event. We are committed to bringing inclusivity and diversity to recreation here, and to creating an environment where all riders feel safe to learn and grow.

In our programs, we will not tolerate harassment, transphobia, homophobia, racism, xenophobia, body shaming, or non-consensual touch. We welcome all riders to be a part of the solution by honoring preferred pronouns and names, using consent, and respecting the unique individuality of each rider. We are here to support and uplift one another and invite you to help foster that culture with us at Pedals & Pints.
