Hundreds of school children will participate in Saturday's Minne-Loppet in Minneapolis -- part of the weekend's slate of events at the City of Lakes Loppet.
The event is sponsored by the Minne-Loppet Foundation, which has raised about $250,000 to help teach elementary school children skiing and provide lessons on health and nutrition. Over the past decade the Minne-Loppet Foundation has helped teach more than 3,000 north Minneapolis elementary students how to ski.
