A larger than expected crowd braved the cold temperatures and increased snowfall to enjoy the Johnson County Ski-Jor Wars at the fairground on Saturday.
Organized by Buffalo Events LLC and the Buffalo Lions Club, the event pitted snow skiiers pulled by horseback over a series of slaloms along a 750 foot track set in front of the grandstands.
The winners of the 6 divisions were Garrett Kissack and Carson Long in the Youngsters division at a time of 17.84 seconds.
In the Midsters group, Julia Bargmann and Rob Beckman had the best time of the day at 16.03 seconds.
Terry Mines and John Gabiotis won the Old ranchers division with a time of 23.04 seconds.
Claudia Todd, one of the organizers for the upcoming Johnson County Skijor Wars event, spoke to the Buffalo City Council at their meeting Tuesday, to update them on liability insurance for the event.
Todd said they have put insurance in place with HUB International through the Buffalo Lions Club, which is the sponsor for the February event.
Todd said they have updated the waiver form and have had discussions with various officials about the layout of the track, beverage service, and other factors concerning the event.
Councilman Dan Hart asked what will happen if there is no snow available for the event, and Jacy Todd explained their options.
