American Birkebeiner

The largest cross country ski race in North American is set for tomorrow from Cable to Hayward, WI.  Last year's was called off due to lack of snow.  This year is a go!  One of the women's gold medalists in cross country skied this race growing up - Jessie Diggins from Minnesota.  My part this year is to make rich desserts (Mississippi Mud) for the Spaghetti Feed (carb loading) tonight and bus tables.  My church usually serves 800 skiers and families at $8 a person.  All the food is donated.  Church members run it.  What I like is about this event is it is not in the church budget.  All the money is donated to local food pantries.  It is America at its finest.
