I hope you have had a chance to go to ALM Photo's link, and I now have City View's link. Go check out all of the photos and if you see one of yourself, your friends or your family, buy it. A portion of the proceeds goes to our charities!

I'm still have trouble actually posting photos here so I hope to work out the technical difficulties and post some here as well. There are some GREAT photos at both links so check them out!

I know, I know, the pictures are not there (make that here) yet. The good news is I have them on CD, and I hope to upload them this weekend. That is if we have power at home, but who knows with the weather predictions. Anyway, you can go to this link and check out ALM Photos pictures, and there are some good ones. Once I get a link from CityView Magazine's pictures, I will post it too. By the way, there was a cool article in CityView about one of our 16 year participants, Harvey Letson. You can check that out too.

16th Annual Eskimo Escapades Shut Up & Ski!

Monday, 14 December 2009 14:37 | Written by Administrator |

eskimoMAIN2010Web Every one get ready for the 16th Annual Eskimo Escapades Shut Up & Ski! The 2010 event will be January 16, 2010, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Volunteer Landing in downtown Knoxville, Tennessee. Let's all hope the weather turns out better than 2009 because we don't want to see any TVs floating down the Tennessee River like we did this past year. Each participant must raise a minimum of $50 in donations to jump in the water and ski, ride, kneeboard or do whatever is safe and fun. We want to encourage all participants to raise as much as they can so we can give lots of money to our charities.

This event provides contributions to the Dream Connection which fulfills wishes and dreams for seriously ill kids in East Tennessee. The Patricia Neal IRC provides recreational opportunities, including water skiing, to individuals with disabilities such as spinal cord injuries and brain injuries. The Adventure Amputee Camp is a camp for amputee kids from all over the United States where the costs of the camp are paid for with donations from Eskimo Escapades and other sponsors.

So start raising donations and get ready to Shut Up & Ski!

Sixteen Years is in -- Thanks to all the participants

The Sixteenth Annual Shut Up & Ski! is done, and the most important thing is it was a SAFE event . We raised approximately $14,000 the day of the event, with 60 participants. That is lower than we expected because the weather cooperated pretty good. However, the water was 42 degrees and the sun never peaked out of the clouds. Plus, we were competing in the afternoon with UT men's basketball. We are gathering all of the photos,and we should be posting them this week. Be patient with us because we are all volunteers so we are doing this in our "spare" time. Thanks for all of your support!
