SFN Awards Banquet 2023

Our outdoor awards ceremony originally scheduled for Saturday, April 1, 2023 was postponed to Sunday due to a wild spring storm shutting down highways, businesses, and keeping most people indoors or removing snow.  Thankfully, Sunday was a beautiful sunny and mild day for all our members to celebrate the 2022-2023 ski season on the ball field at Hiawatha Highlands.  

Presentations started at 11am while members skied, socialized, and snacked. The food tent offered hot dogs, sausages, hot chocolate, and cookies.

Soo Finnish Nordic Ski Club would like to thank the community, land owners, and partners for another wonderful season.

Congratulations to this season’s award recipients!
