ST. PAUL - Among the many events taking place in St. Paul over the Family Day long weekend was the Wild West Skijoring event, hosted by the St. Paul Ag Society.
The event has been held in St. Paul for several years, but this year was the first time organizers chose to move to a new location - directly behind the Ag Corral. With a sanctioned strongman competition taking place indoors, it made for a busy area on Saturday, with plenty of entertainment available to locals.
This year also included a first-ever GT race for kids, where children were pulled behind a horse while riding on the popular snowracer.
