Remembering Lucky

On the afternoon of March 18th, 2010, Maplelag’s popular dog, Lucky, passed away. Lucky first came to Maplelag in the Spring of 1997. He was a small pup  that wondered from the woods.  Calls to the neighbors, radio station and flyers posted at Richwood Store revealed no owner. Maplelag adopted the black lab mix and named him “Lucky”. Lucky was a perfect dog for Maplelag. He would guide skiers on the trails and be a magnet to kids in the lodge that would melt over him while he took it all in. Lucky lived a great life, roaming the grounds at Maplelag and never had to spend a night in a kennel.  Maplelag’s singletrack classic ski trail was named after him, Lucky’s Loype and also the trail run in the Fall, Lucky’s Loype Pumpkin Run.  Thanks for the great memories Lucky!

Moosejaw 2010

The theme for this year’s MooseJaw was “MooseJaw at the Movies”. Saturday night saw folks dressed up as their
favorite star from the silver screen with a red carpet premier and a take on the Oscars.  This year’s feature band was the
old-time band “Tallboys” from Seattle. For the local band,  theUkrainian Village Band provided traditional Ukrainian dancing and music. The incomparable Beverly Smith calling the squares. There was also the wide range of workshops including: oldtime fiddle, banjo and guitar, Ukrainian singing, dance and fiddle music, a jug band
symposium,clogging, squares, contras, calling and more. And, of course, the incredible talent show Sunday morning. Lots of energy, lots of Fun!! Few folks heading out on the trails but snow melted fast over the weekend.  Be sure to check out the Wild Goose Chase Cloggers web site for information on future Moosejaws.
