Re: [Mpls] Loppet big success

Kudos to all involved with this.  In my view, this is a community-building effort, 
especially on the volunteer side of things.

A question:  If this is to become an annual event will it be timed to coincide with 
the end of St. Paul's Winter Carnival as it was this year?  One could see this as a 
nice tie-in, or as our fair city trying to one-up the smaller burg across the river, 
especially if it gets bigger and better.

I wish it weren't so, but people being people I think it would pay to be politically 
sensitive about this one.

Barbara asked if the Loppet was timed to tie in with the Winter Carnival.

The date was actually picked to be sensitive to the fact that next weekend there is a 
ski race in St. Paul and we did not want to compete.
