Tie City, MBNA Wee-Ski / Kid-Ski Carnival:

The weather was in the 40's with a light breeze.  The day consisted of 
races and games for both classes.  The kids all seemed to enjoy themselves 
and most were fairly confident on skis at that point.  The snow was spring 
like in consistency and we are in dire need of about 15 feet of late 
winter up-slope snow.  (plus or minus a few feet.)  No injuries, lost 
children, or other issues to report.  There were perhaps some lost poles 
still but it was not clear if they had all been found.  Well locate them 
after the 15 feet of snow melt.  Thanks to Beth and all the volunteers. 
Everyone had a good time it appeared.

Suggestion for the MBNA.  Mount a "doggie bag" holder on the side of the 
warming hut or on the information board sign.  I spent a fair bit of time 
"shovelling" up "remains of the dog" (did not win the Oscar).  Aldo the 
dog is pretty good about heading off into the deep snow well off the 
trail. (He knows I am gunning for him and will plow him over.  Smart dog.) 
But I still carry a bag with me.  Not sure if it will completely fix the 
problem but it cannot hurt.  I just think if a state health official came 
by... and with the kids sledding and lying around out there I suspect on a 
warm day E. Coli and other critters are perhaps a factor.
