Telemark Nordic Club REPORT January 24 2026 This was the second year that the Telemark Nordic Club requested the participation of the Westbank Lions Club for their Provincial races. Our role was to provide lunch for Telemark volunteers and to sell food to race participants. We served the public and volunteers a hearty Pulled Pork on a bun with Cole slaw and for vegetarians and gluten free a hearth vegetarian chili.Lions members met at the Lions Hall at 8:45 a.m. and arrived on the hill in advance of the 10:00 a.m. setup time. We set up all food on the tables provided, serving pulled pork on a bun and vegetarian chili with a bun. Every meal also included coleslaw. The food was hot, hearty, and very much appreciated by all. The only downside was the cold temperature — zero degrees — especially in the shed where the food was served. However, working closely with the Telemark team made the event run smoothly. The Lions did not handle any money, as Telemark tracked the number of volunteers served and public sales. They provided us with the final count. Proceeds from the event will be shared to support the Telemark Nordic Club.
