This last weekend my friend Necia and I went to the Madison Winter Festival. They brought in truckloads of snow and made a cross country ski course around the capital building. When we were there we watched some cross country ski races. One was pretty big because people had come from Canada and across the country for this race. They also had an area open to the public and areas for little kids. Also set up were some rails which people were also competing on we watch some little kids snowboard on the rails and some teenagers ski on the rails. Also open was the Wisconsin History Museum which we took some time to learn about the early Wisconsin settlers. It is a pretty good little museum right there by the capitol if people are ever in Madison looking for something to do.
Here are the x-country racers
Here you can see the street covered in snow, they had is from 6-12 inches thick.
There is more than just dairy in Wisconsin's history but I thought these milk glasses were pretty cool looking.
Here is the rail competition.

It's like you went to the Olympics! So fun! I do have to say...I am surprised that they had to truck snow in for you guys. After seeing the news the last few weeks I really woundn't have guessed that. Looks like a really fun time!
They didn't have to truck it very far, there is snow everywhere because it keeps falling and never melts. They just had to bring it into the city on the road, it looked like they packed it down pretty good for the skiers.
