HANCOCK -- Members of the Sons of Norway Lodge 5-620 will sponsor a Barnelopet children’s cross country ski event from 10:30 a.m. to 12 noon Saturday, Feb. 16, at the Maasto Hiihto cross country ski trails, Hancock.
The event is open to youth through age 13. Registration begins at 10 a.m. Saturday. The entry fee is $5.00 for one skier and $10.00 for a family of two or more. Parents are encouraged to ski with their children.
The Keweenaw Nordic Ski Club (KNSC), co-sponsor of this new children’s ski event, will lay 1 km, 2 km, and 4 km ski tracks especially for the day. Skiers can "skate" or "stride" any one of the three courses.
Volunteers are needed to help. Volunteers will meet at 6:30 p.m. this Thursday, Feb. 14, at the Chalet at the Fair Grounds (Driving Park). Call Wayne Stordahl for details on volunteering or racing at 482-0292.
The first fifty children who finish their event will receive a Sons of Norway Olympic-style enameled medallion. The kids will also be treated to cookies and hot chocolate. The KNSC will be selling lunch at the Maasto Hiihto ski chalet, and hot drinks and soup will be available.
A registration form and more information can be found at www.keweenawtrails.com.
