The 2018 Winter Olympics are almost here! From Feb. 9-25 we get to live vicariously through our televisions, travel to South Korea, mingle with the world’s top athletes and compete for the gold. Some may gather with friends and food to watch the U.S. vs. Russia hockey game or to critique the skills of the downhill skiers. Others may watch the previous day’s highlight clips online over their lunch break.
But who says the Olympic excitement can only be felt while huddled around a screen? Why not get out and participate in any way we can? Gather your family, friends and neighbors, and put on your thinking caps to dream up the perfect neighborhood Olympic Games.
In that spirit, I propose to you… The Lakeside Winter Olympics! These whimsically imagined feats of grace, strength and endurance will help you make the most of the Lakeside off-season.
