Hello Kubbers!

Things are buzzing along as we approach the Holidays. Despite a small warmup this week, it looks like winter has moved in for the long-haul – which means snow kubb is the name of the game until spring.

Last year 64 teams participated in the 2014 Captain Ken’s Loppet Kubb Tournament. After thinking long and hard about the future of the Loppet Kubb Tournament we came to the decision to keep the tournament at 64 teams again in 2015. Offering a world class tournament to our competitors was foremost in this decision. Having experienced consistent growth since 2011, we expect demand to be higher than ever this year which means one thing, register early! We will start a waiting list once we hit 64 teams, but we don’t want you to be on the outside looking in. Registration is outpacing last year’s tournament by over a month. We’re more than half full as of today. We hope to see you on Lake Calhoun for another great tournament.

-Eric
