considering moving the Vasaloppet ski race from Sunday to
Saturday beginning with the 2014 race next February.</big></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 4.5px 0.0px; text-indent: 9.0px; font:
12.0px 'Minion Pro'"><big>This change is under consideration
because a Saturday race could offer more potential to increase
the number of skiers participating in the race, help create a
more festival-type atmosphere, and offer the potential for
people to remain in town after the race.</big></p>

community volunteer groups and has received positive feedback
and they would like to hear from you if you have any comments or
concerns. <br>

information to share. It's a big change and we don't want anyone
to be surprised, if we can help it!<br>
