Could Fire At Fairgrounds Spell the End of the Snowmobile Olympus in Ironwood?

It looks like the Snowmobile Olympus will not be happening this year. According to TheDailyGlobe, the Gogebic County Board of Commissioners last year had discussed the condition of the fairgrounds and said they would not allow for the event. Now, with all the fire at the fairgrounds, the chances of holding the event this year look pretty slim. The Olympus is usually held late December or January, and is one of the premiere events of the year held at the fairgrounds. Both local and national officials of the sport have sent letters to the county, asking for support and stating that if the event couldn’t be scheduled in Ironwood next year, the International Snowmobile Racing Division and Pro Vintage agreed that perhaps the event wouldn’t be held in Ironwood again
