OSCR Nordic races set for March 18

The OSCR race has been rescheduled for March 18, 1989. Approximately 70 skiers were expected to participate in the 45 kilometer Nordic ski race on Feb. 4, but dangerously low temperatures forced OSCR officials to postpone the race.

The mercury dipped to -35 degrees F the night before the race, and rose only slightly by the 9:00 a.m. starting time. The OSCR committee decided that the race would be postponed if the temperature was lower than -4 degrees F. The thermometer registered -30 degrees F at race time and high winds on Richmond Ridge produced a deadly wind chill factor.

Museum and Visitor's Center to open in May

A long seven years ago the legend of the historic Double Arrow Barn began its last metamorphosis. This May, the transition will be complete when the doors of the old stallion barn - built in 1929-1930 - open to receive visitors from around the world, beckoning with visions of the past along with advice and information pertaining to the present.

With generous support from federal, state and county agencies, the present day "barn raising" efforts encompassed the entire community and individuals working to see a major project come into fruition. Such across the board support enabled the historic building to be moved to its new location on Highway 83, be restored focusing on its historical architecture and furnishings and to meet stringent building code requirements.
