Media One Funski
Jan 30, 2013
The 24th annual Media One Funski was held last weekend at Great Bear Ski Resort in Sioux Falls. The event is closing in on a half million dollars in total fundraising for The Children's Inn, a domestic abuse shelter for women and children. It began in 1989 as a cross country ski race. Today Funski has expanded to include skiing, snowboarding, team snow tubing, kickball, and snow sculpture.
