Just received following email:
With many apologies for the pump fake we put on you last Friday...
Mother Nature, though she is beautiful and inspiring at times, she can also be quite the tease. Just three days after announcing, for the second time, the postponement of Red Bull Kite Freeze, across the Great Planes swept a moisture laden gift from above. As of today, Monday, February 3rd, we have
1+ feet of FRESH SNOW on the ground at Lake Minnetonka with more
flurries
and very cold temperatures on the way. Faced with the choice of going back on our postponement announcement made last Friday or taking our chances on the weather in late March, we felt the only choice was to take advantage of the recent gift of snow and go for it! Therefore, the event is officially a go for Friday, FEBRUARY 14th thru Sunday, FEBRUARY 16th.
We realize that many of you are travelling from out of town and apologize if you are now faced with a tough decision or are troubled by missing with the airlines' 14-day advance purchase rule. If this is the case please contact me and I will see if there is any help we may provide. I'd also encourage everyone to stay at our host hotel, the Sheraton Minneapolis West, from which we will run shuttles to the event venue on Lake Minnetonka.
We told you in all correspondence to pray for snow... I guess it worked too well. Hoping to see as many of you as possible in a couple of weeks!!!
Thanks for your understanding... GAME ON!
