Duane ~ This is such a huge event here in Grand Haven.  The racers really put time and effort in building the most amazing card board sleds!!  And with all this snow we have...should be a fun fun day!  There is also a nice warming building with a huge fireplace to keep warm.

Renee, cool, thanks. Is that located on the ski hill behind the castle?

Renee~ It looks like it was a blast! Bet you had fun!

Renee, It will be interesting to see if you made it to the event!  That's an awful lot of snow they were predicting.  I hope it went well and you'll be back with pictures to share.

Alecia & Carole ~ What a fun fun day!  We had over 100 sleds in the race, all sizes and designs.  Lots of snow made for some great "wipe outs".  Everyone had a great time.  I did get a couple pictures, but was so busy running around I didn't get as many as I had hoped for.  But I will post some for everyone to see.
