Winter Fest Coming!

January 29th, 2010

Greetings soul brothers and sisters,

Thanks for checkin’ in with your resident soul goat here…Hope you are all doin’ fine in this new year of 2010.  Got some happenin’s to report comin’ up in the land of the ‘Tooths.

On February 20^th and 21^st, the Sawtooth valley will host its first annual Winter Festival.  This is bound to be an outrageous, madcap weekend in the ol’ town of Stanley.  Check out the events…

On Saturday, February 20, at 2pm, there will be a Snowshoe Drag Race right down the main street – Ace of Diamonds.  When I say “drag race,” I mean racing in drag, cross-dressing on the real.  Men dressed as women, and women dressed as men.  Now, to a goat this ain’t no thing, but to humans, this gets ‘em all crazy.  I guess I could psycho-analyze this and all, but I won’t…

The Stanley Cup Hockey Tournament will take place at the Stanley skating rink- undoubtedly, the most picturesque skating venue in the human world.  Grab your skates and stick, and get on a team.  Or grab a warm coat, a hot chocolate, and be a spectator- of the game and the mountains!  The pond hockey will be happenin’ all weekend long.

There will be dog sleds in town, sledding, and a contest for the best snowman.  On Saturday night, there will be live music at the Mountain Village Lounge to get yo’ hips shakin’.

Sunday, at 2pm, there’s gonna be a relay race- combined snowmachine, ski, and snowshoe.  It’ll be sweet.  More hockey, sledding, and snowman building takin’ place.  That night, Smiley Creek Lodge will be the place to yo’ goove on…

Also, don’t forget about my favorite event of the Stanley winter coming up soon…. the Sawtooth Ski Club’s 8^th Annual Sawtooth Ski Festival.   This will be held on March 6 & 7.  Get yo’ planks waxed up for this one; there’ll be some serious kickin’ and glidin’ goin’ on.  On Saturday night, at the Stanley Community Center, the band Headwaters will be jammin’ some sweet tunes to get the folks swingin’.  More to come on the ski fest….

Book a room now y’all at the Sawtooth Hotel in downtown.  This is one happenin’ place.  My friends will cook you a damn fine breakfast if you stay the night.  There’ll also be home-cooked food and tasty beverages all weekend long there.

That’s all for now…keep spreadin’ the Peace, Love, and Soul.

Yours truly,

Billy Bob
