Tilley Endurables AANR Convention Sponsor For the fifth year in a row, Tilley Endurables will be a sponsor of the AANR Convention, to be held this year at Oaklake Trails in Depew, Oklahoma, August 10-16. Tilley hats are the perfect outdoor nudist accessory. Made in Canada, the hats are not only stylish but block 98 percent of harmful UVA/UVB radiation. The best part? A handy security pocket inside to store valuables, completely eliminating the need for pockets. The 2009 line of men's and women's hats and clothing is now available.

New Belgium Brewery's Skinny Dip beer returns as a sponsor of the 2009 convention. According to the New Belgium website, Skinny Dip was created by Belgian brewmaster Peter Bouckaert when the New Belgium founder was looking for something full-bodied but a little lighter to drink after workouts. And what better name for a tie-in product, especially this year, with the AANR Convention following The AANR World Record Skinny-Dip? Read more at New Belgium. 
Sunday is Naked Hiking Day Every year on the first day of summer, a group forms to celebrate the summer solstice by nude hiking on the Appalachian Trail and other locations. This year, Naked Hiking Day falls on Father's Day. One hiker cited passages from Thoreau and other writers who suggest that being nude outdoors elevates one's appreciation of nature. However, there are some that aren't thrilled that they will encounter nude hikers this Sunday. Last year, eight hikers received disorderly conduct warnings after they admitted to being nude even though they were clothed by the time officers arrived. Yet the hikers say they go out of their way to avoid being seen and just try to enjoy the experience. Read more at Naked Hiking Day. Calendar Girls Take the Stage A British play based on the popular movie Calendar Girls gets an all-new cast including Jerry Hall, former model and wife of rock star Mick Jagger. The stage show is based on the true story of the Women's institute members who posed nude for charity. A portion of the play's booking fee, royalties and proceeds will be donated to leukemia research, the charity for which the real calendar girls raised funds. Read more at Calendar Girls.
