Description

Feats of strength! Incredible speed! Performance gear! Lots of flags!

Sure, these all apply to the Toyko Summer Olympics. But we're talking about the life of an average voyageur. These canoemen of the fur trade brought hundreds of pounds of goods through this region's waters, all for the sake of fashion trends.

Join us any time between 10:30am and noon on the days listed below to see if you can win the gold....beaver-fur top hat?
