Looking for a deal on cross country gear? Thunder Bay Nordic Trails will be hosting their annual cross country ski swap from October 24-27 at Kamview. Clean out the basement and get the kids to try on their old boots; bring whatever doesn’t fit to the Ski Swap to sell, and shop for “new” gear! The Ski Swap is also a great opportunity to buy some retro gear for The Walleye‘s Retro Clothing Contest at the 2014 Sleeping Giant Loppet (never hurts to plan ahead!).
The Ski Swap will be open on October 24 & 25 from 5 – 9 pm, on October 26 from 9 am – 4 pm and on October 27 from 10 am to 3 pm.
![Why is @johnlaco smiling? He won our Best of Thunder Bay all-inclusive package for four, sponsored by @visitthunderbay and @porterairlines. Just for voting in our readers' survey, he's treating a local bestie and two out-of-town guests to TBay's best experiences, restaurants, and attractions.
And as for his favourite thing about Thunder Bay? “What's not to love? Our commitment to local products, restaurants, charities, and arts is nothing short of admirable,” he says. “There are a lot of great people doing great things here—something Mom [Lisa Laco] was always proud of. Also, the 10-minute drive across town is pretty sweet.”
Thank you to the City of Thunder Bay and Porter Airlines for the generous sponsorship and congratulations, John!
