The team has new hats! See the pictures below.  They are quality Nordic race beanies, but unlike other race beanies, they are pretty darned warm because they are lightly lined.  One size fits all. To allow parents, aunts, uncles, friends, grandpas, grandmas, dogs, goldfish, etc to show their support we are offering left-over hats for sale.   Proceeds offset cost of the hats to the kids.  You can find the hats at Cross Country Connection in downtown Laramie for $25.
