Laskiainen
The Laskiainen tradition was brought to northern Minnesota by Finnish immigrants, and more-formal Laskiainen festivities started in St. Louis County in 1937. Initially there were 19 celebrations held in various rural communities, but the one in Palo is the only Laskiainen celebration to survive to the present day.
AU 1884
Au 1884 - Les Glissades de la Terrasse Dufferin
is an iconic winter attraction in Quebec City that features a historic, high-speed toboggan run next to the Château Frontenac. Operating since 1884, visitors can slide down the icy chutes at speeds of up to 70 km/h (approx. 43.5 mph).
US National Toboggan Championships
The first U.S. National Toboggan Championships was held in 1991. To our knowledge, the Toboggan Nationals is the only organized traditional wood toboggan race in the country – most likely the world. Held annually during the first weekend in February in Camden, Maine, the toboggan chute is located adjacent to the slopes at the Camden Snow Bowl, a municipally-owned year-round recreation area that has developed many thousands of dedicated skiers since 1936. All Toboggan National revenue is used to offset the Snow Bowl's operating budget.
