Fun starts Saturday By KAREN BOSSICK
A
s the saying goes, girls just want to have fun. And there’s plenty of fun to be had Saturday when Muffy Ritz and the VAMPS host the Inga-Lami/Farcabinder at Quigley Nordic near Wood River High School. The morning of fun combines fun and games with libations, appetizers and raffle prizes. And proceeds go to The Advocates and The Kids Bike Fund. The Inga-Lami is an allwomen’s ski tour inspired by the Norwegian tale of Queen Mother Inga who gave her baby prince to Birkebeiner warriors to carry to safety on skis over the rugged
mountains of Norway during a Norwegian civil war. Participants are encouraged to dress in Norwegian costume, whether it be knee-high socks and Norwegian sweaters or even as Viking ships as some participants have done in the past. They will ski an easy loop followed by fun and games. They will be given raffle tickets for every loop they ski—the more raffle tickets they collect, the more they can enter into a drawing for prizes. The Inga-Lami will be followed by the Farcabinder—crazy, zany games on skis and snow involving hula hoops and more. Registration for the Inga-Lami will be held from 9:30 to 10:30
a.m. at the Quigley Nordic yurt. The Inga-Lami starts at 11. Registration for the Farcabinder will be held from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. at the yurt. It starts at noon. Refreshments, libations, appetizers and raffle prizes donated by the VAMPS and their coaches will start at 1 p.m. Wiseguy Pizza and beer will also be available for sale with the proceeds going to The Kids Bike Fund. Cost is $15 for one event or $20 for both. Other sponsors are the Blaine County Recreation District, Smith Optics, Zenergy, Hawley Graphics and Invisible Fence.
Kelly Martin and Lucy Bourret went all out in their costumes for one Inga-Lami.
