Estasha, Alison, and Sariah Rockin' their new Tie Dye T's
One year during High School our cross-country running team warm-ups were misplaced so we decided to Tie Dye long sleeve shirts for the Team Uniform. One of the guys on the team Pete had done a fair amount of Tie Dye and he helped everyone create some sweet shirts. It was a lot of fun and something I have wanted to do with the kids at the Lac Courte Orielles Boys and Girls Club. Again Pete coached me along about where to get the best dye and get the project started.

A huge thanks to my neighbor and friend Kay for helping keep the chaos organized
Tomorrow I hit the road for 2 Months: Nov 11 – Jan 11. After a great spring, summer, and fall of training I am excited to get back on snow and to race. One of the things that I will miss is everyone at the Boys and Girls Club.
What does Brian do when he is not at the Boys and Girls Club?
I gave a presentation to the kids about my travels, struggles and triumphs of last season. Plus, my plans for the next two months on the road.
"I want to see what my shirt looks like!"
We tie dyed over 60 unique shirts on Monday night. It was fun to see them all. I was hoping to get the kids the shirts on Tuesday but it took me over 2 hours to cut/pull out the rubber bands and rinse the shirts. There were a lot of curious kids yelling at me as I walked down the hall on my way to Mrs. Johnson’s 5th Grade classroom.

It is still pretty warm here in Wisconsin. Bad for skiing, good for flashlight tag
I had a great final night at ‘The Club’ tonight. The kids loved the slide show, were super excited to see their shirts, and we had a huge game of flashlight tag down at the Pow Wow Grounds.
Tomorrow we head for snow.
