Join us for our special Polar Fest presentation with Zach Fritz. Hear about how he and his friend Taylor Rau spent 106 days paddling over 2,700 miles from MN to the Arctic Ocean.

Join the Detroit Lakes Public Library for our special Polar Fest presentation with Zach Fritz. In the summer of 2024, Zach Fritz and Taylor Rau spent 106 days paddling over 2,700 miles from Zach's family's hunting cabin in northern Minnesota to the Arctic Ocean in the Far North of Canada. A lifelong dream for Zach that was years in the making, they traveled through some of the most remote places left in North America. Facing lakes hundreds of miles long, unfathomable swarms of bugs, relentless weather, and wild rivers, they left the "real world" behind for the adventure of a lifetime. With photos and videos, come experience the gripping story about what it means to chase your dreams and what it takes to paddle across Canada.
