DUMMY JUMP TOMORROW
Helpful hints, and registration information can be found HERE.
Spectators are totally welcome to come and join in the fun.
Cheer on your favorite dummy.
Help them win the PRIZE.
Enjoy the fulfillment of your secret longing to shove something destructible down a steep incline...
(pretty sure that is a universal human desire)
I hope to see you in the contest or in the crowd tomorrow!

2nd Annual Dummy Jump
This is an awesome event!
Goofy, exciting, messy...
and for a great cause.
I promise to post a photo soon of the dummies lined up and waiting for their chance at glory.
In the meantime, check out the poster HERE.
And download the pertinent info and registration HERE.
Don't be a dummy... Join in the fun!

Our Very Own Prairie Home
Suzanne Thomas, owner of Buena Vista Ski Area, happily poses with Garrison Keillor.
Last week, while the NPR Prairie Home Companion Show was in Bemidji to do a local broadcast, the entire cast and crew visited Buena Vista for a Lumberjack Breakfast.
Bright and early Sunday morning, pancakes and sausage were served to the crew of approximately 80 people.
Then everyone boarded horse-drawn sleighs, driven by members of the local Whoa & Go Harness Club, for a little "Over the river & through the woods..."
One lucky driver had his sleigh embellished with words from Garrison Keillor's very own pen.
Even though I wasn't one of the BV people that got to meet the cast and crew of the beloved Prairie Home Companion Show, I'm sure that all of those that did felt it was a great honor to host a meal and sleigh ride for these terrific radio artists. (lucky ducks!)
Thanks for your visit Mr. Keillor!

Happy School Kids
Cooperation, Coordination, Self-Confidence, Exercise,
Group Bonding...
The class ski trip is often the first chance kids get to experience the life-long sport of skiing or boarding.
Teachers tell us that the ski trip bonds their class together in a way no other activity can.
Buena Vista would like to thank all the teachers, principals, and school staff that motivate their students to
"get moving" in the winter.
We love to see those smiling faces!

PHOTOS by Jen Laitala
The general population of Buena Vista begins to swagger just a bit when Jen stops by. 
She treks up the hills on snowshoes...kids pull off just a bit more speed and air...adults put a little more swish into their turns...everyone is hoping she is pointing her lense at them.
Because her photography skills can match what the local talent dishes out.
And it's fun to smile for a good camera!

One couldn't have asked for a nicer opening day.
Blue skies. Decent temps. Little breeze. Happy people.
