Second Annual Pirates of the High Skis – a fun and successful fundraiser!

On Saturday, February 11, 2012, over 125 Pirates and Wenches swarmed Cannon Mountain Ski Area, maps in hand, on an orienteering-style treasure hunt. They received “gold doubloons” for locating the designated places on their maps, and used these to enter the two grand prize drawings. The Treasure Chests each held pirate booty worth over $1,250. Additional prizes were awarded for best Pirate and Wench costumes as well as Most Bodacious Shoulder Parrots. Even those who didn’t hunt for treasure had a chance for some wonderful items through the raffle and silent auction that took place throughout the day.

Thanks to the many businesses and individuals who donated items for the Treasure Chests, Raffle and Silent Auction. Also thank you to Cannon Mountain Ski Area for allowing us to hold the event there, and to all of the folks in the cafeteria and pub who wore costumes in the spirit of the Pirates of the High Skis theme.

A very special thank you to our sponsors:

“The Brethren of the Bumps”

Passumpsic Savings, Littleton Coin, Paramount Electric

As well as to the “Tucker Brook Buccaneers”

Turtle Ridge Foundation and Connecticut River Bank

Once again we thank VanDesign for the artwork.

Adaptive Sports Partners of the North Country raised over $13,000 through this fundraiser to help continue providing year-round sports and recreation opportunities to people with disabilities.
