9.A.1. <br /> Michele McPherson <br /> From: MNbiathlon @aol.com <br /> "Ilene Thursday, July 13, 2000 1:10 PM <br /> o: mmcpherson @ci.elk-river.mn.us <br /> ubject: Fall Festival Competition-Oct 19,21,22 <br /> Dear Michelle- <br /> Minnesota Biathlon would like to hold our Fall Festival in Elk River again <br /> this year. It is a big event that would be made up of 3 races Oct 19, 21,22. <br /> Events would begin at 9am and to until 1 pm each day. Actual racing on the <br /> paved loops would begin at 10am and finish at 1pm. We would also schedule <br /> training for approx 20 athletes on the 20th from 9am-12pm. <br /> Last year we had 50-55 competitors each day and over the weekend some 60-80 <br /> spectators per event. This event will be much higher profile than the event <br /> planned for the end of July. Also, being on rollerskis, the athletes move at <br /> higher speed and take up much of the trail as they compete. This year I <br /> would anticipate 60 competitors and 80-100 spectators each day on the <br /> weekend. This event will be primarily for local athletes, though we will <br /> draw the junior national team from Duluth and various Olympic hopefuls from <br /> around the country. <br /> We took lots of photos and video of last years races, so I can make a <br /> presentation to the plannng commission (park and rec board?). I suppose we <br /> need to bring this befor the commission as soon as possible. <br /> So when is the next meeting, and what do I need to bring with me? Thanks in <br /> advance for your advice. <br /> Sincerely <br /> •iotr Bednarski <br /> • <br /> 1 <br />
