#PACKRAT OUTDOOR CENTER SERIES#

Mark your calendar for the 2019 series of three events, all held at Pack Rat Outdoor Center’s stunning 15,000 square foot log structure at 209 West Sunbridge Drive: October 2 – 5:30 – 8 p.m. Like Pack Rat’s iconic outdoor equipment and supply store, Pint Nights are designed to provide a space to foster hanging out and meeting new people-while simultaneously supporting organizations with goals focused on protecting, conserving, facilitating or educating about the outdoors. In 2012, the expert team at Pack Rat decided to create a great reason to gather, with a shared vision of connecting people while building up and fostering the local community.

A fun way of tapping into the true Fayetteville vibe has hit lucky number seven this year, with all of the luck being shared among a few fantastic nonprofits and all of the folks who decide to attend one or all of Pack Rat Outdoor Center’s Pint Night series.
