Big Hole Valley WinterFest 2008

Wanted:  Ten People to Risk their Lives in Pursuit of A Jelly Donut THIS WEEKEND!

Procedure: Grab your horse, a rope, some skis, a crazy person and a roll of duct-tape. Stick the crazy person on the skis, duct-tape him to the bindings, hand him a hot toddy and one end of the rope. Then mount your horse and scream “HeeeYAH!”. This is all the formal instruction you need to compete in The Big Hole Valley’s First Annual Horse Skijoring Competition this Saturday February 2.

The Knitting Circle has declined to enter a horse in this event so the potential for an historic victory for the rest of us is high.

Wisdom is a town where you can rise to renown like a bubble in an ice bucket of Montana Champagne. So this is the chance for you and a fool of your choice to forge your own indelible future together.  Grab this state’s first ever Horse Skijoring Gold Medal and be given the key to Montana’s Evel Knievaldom all in one. (The photo at right is sort of like Horse Skijorning, but without the horse.)

Plus, get your photo pasted smack–dab on this page. What more could you want?

Can’t make up your mind? WAIT!

If you’re a sissy and would rather ride a snowmobile instead of a bronc, our 40 mile Snowmobile Fun Run is also on tap for Saturday starting at 9AM and lasting until 4PM. Either way, you’ll be exhausted and ready for dinner and a dance at Fetty’s in Wisdom this Saturday night February 2.

Assuming you can still stand on Sunday, you can enter the Cross Country ski competition behind the Hot Springs Lodge in Jackson. This will be exceptionally well attended by people who have never seen a silly football game in their lives, and don’t plan to change this aberration.    

Global Warming be damned. Winter has arrived in the Big Hole Valley of Montana and with it comes The Big Hole Valley Winter Fest of 2008!

Hope to see you this weekend!
