Wed, Feb  21, 2007 - By Pete Edwards

Hundreds of junior skiers have participated in the Cross Country Ski Headquarters' Annual Muffin Races for Kids. And of course Big Bob (Cross Country Ski HQ’s owner Bob Frye) is a champion promoter of cross country skiing, the driving force behind the Great Lakes Nordic Ski Council and when it comes to kids, he has the biggest heart of ALL. Big Bob and his staff will host some quality events and a fantastic pig roast this Sunday.

Everyone is a winner at the Muffin Race. Fun for parents and grandparents too! Come celebrate winter on snow at the Cross Country Ski Headquarters this Sunday, February 25th.

Even 1st time skiers will find the special races for ages 6 & under + ages 7-10 doable, super fun and rewarding – just review ALL the smiles at prior Muffin Races when Big Bob lines up all the finishers and presents them with their medals. For the older skiers they get a taste of the Skiathlon.
