Carnival news: Yetis steal Queen's crown

The fierce (and smelly) Yeti horde were seen running amok throughout the our usually peaceful hamlet this last Saturday. Displaying a taste for fermented drink , a penchant for rough and rebellious behavior and an eye for shiny objects of the Royal kind. The Yeti's seemed to be up to their usual tricks. 

After terrorizing the good folks at this year’s skijoring competition, they made their way to the Great Northern bar and grill, to force their will on patrons and ping pong players. They then chased up and down the streets of downtown demanding beer at all establishments, until the manager and patrons of the Remington Bar forced them northward once more. Unfortunately they somehow managed to barricade themselves atop of Casey's Lounge, taking the sky bar as their fortress, spending the next few hours hurling Yeti growls and affronts upon unsuspecting revelers on the streets below. 

Then, in a rare occasion of seemingly premeditated planning, two of the beasts befriended Our Majestic Royal Party for a supposed "photo" opportunity. 

What ensued next can only be attributed to what we all know to be the true nature of the Yeti. As the two fraudulent Yeti's were posing, and thusly distracting Our Royal Court, a third unseen Yeti came at full Yeti speed to snatch the Crown from atop the head of Our most prized Queen of the Snows. 

Then in what was assuredly a hostile take over, the Yeti's boarded the "Flathead Party Bus" for a safe and sober ride to their guarded haunts (safe for them, not sure what happened to the driver).  

The Crown is even now being held in their "Yeti's Den" with a sure ransom being demanded for its safe return. A photo recently published by their Yeti "Wrangler" show's what appears to be a demand for their favorite refreshment and a visit from the "King" himself in return for the safe transfer of their latest prize. 

Information deemed fairly reliable suggests the Yeti's are demanding a meeting between Our Fine and Current Royalty, the King of Rock and Roll (better yet Mr. Wayne Newton), a case of (cheap) beer and the Yeti's themselves. 

The confrontation to take place this Saturday at Whitefish Mountain Resort (The Big), Base Lodge fire ring on the Deck, bottom of Chair 6, 3:30 p.m. Hope the situation can be peacefully remedied, we would all hate to see a repeat of the flatening of the Kings Crown in 2004.

So a call to arms to the protectors of Our Royal Court for surely they must not be left without proper benefit in this dangerous encounter. Viking Diva's, Mountain Men, Penguins and Past Royalty your aid is requested. All for Whitefish Winter Carnival!
