BARNEBIRKIE (Continued from page 1)
As in prior years, members of many lodges donated cookies for the participants, with this year coming in at about 1,200 DOZEN COOKIES! And lots were from Skjold Lodge. A big thank you to all who baked and provided cookies for this fun event.
The Barnebirkie (childrens race) is held in conjunction with the American Birkebeiner, America's largest cross-country ski marathon with almost 7,000 skiers participating.
While the Birkebeiner winners this year were from Utah and Idaho, 23 skiers from Norway also participated. Gene and Tordis got to spend some time with the Norwegian skiers, making the trip extra special for Tordis.
There are some great photos and details about all races at www.birkie.com.
