Rondy Origins

Known locally as Fur Rondy, the event has been going strong since before statehood. The event started in 1936 as a three-day sporting event timed to coincide with the return of miners and trappers loaded with the fruits of a winter of work. The original event featured skiing, hockey, basketball, boxing, and a children's sled dog race down Fourth Avenue.

We moved up in 1955.....before statehood.....blanket tosses and furs were plentiful,and so was SNOW

I was going to bitch about the snow and wind in South Park today but I will stay quiet.
