The TMA has pretty much taken over this event. Now we just gotta spread the word enough to get more folks to come out.

So how much snow is there?  SE Ohio had a sprinkling yesterday, it was gone within a half hour. :shock:

I can't make it, but will be there in spirit!

Thanks! We had snow, then it almost all melted. Then we got more, and it is snowing now. I have not been out to camp, but should be out there for polar Cubs on the 2/10-11 weekend...

Hey guys, we could use a bit of help with prizes for the biathlon. It is a month away and I have nothing. The TMA has taken over this event, but the Scout camp is going to keep the money made as registration fees for camp rental (we do rent the whole camp for the day, after all).

Anyway, the TMA is willing to spend some money on the event, but I hate to spend our money if I can get some prizes donated. Anybody got "stuf" they aren't using anymore?

Thanks

Rendezvous/black powder stuff mostly. I am wondering about some lampwick for snowshoe bindings. I will have to see what I have left. Theings relevant to the event would be good.

Thanks

I'm going to make every effort to get there.  If there isn't enough snow are we carrying our snowshoes on our back?
