Mush for a Cure gets crazier!




Everyone has a good time at the Mush for a Cure event in March and this year things will be even more fun, starting with a Pink Prom Pasta Party.

Friday night’s spaghetti dinner at Trail Center will have a prom theme. Slurp pink spaghetti noodles while wearing a pink prom dress or a retro tuxedo. Come and see who gets crowned Prom Queen and Prom King of the first Pink Prom Pasta Party.

If you want to look really good, come early and get a haircut during the Cut for a Cure. Andrea Peterson, owner of Studio 61 in Grand Marais, will be “cutting for a cure” from 5-7 p.m.

Whether you get a haircut or not, you will want to participate in “TheBald, Brave and Beautiful” which will feature contestants willing to have their heads shaved to raise money for Mush for a Cure. Each contestant’s fate is in your hands as they have chosen to go bald if the price is right. When a person gives a $10 donation for a hair cut, he or she will be able to choose whose kitty the money will go into.

Cook County Sheriff Mark Falk will compete against Chief Deputy Leif Lunde while Gunflint Trail Volunteer Fire Department Chief Mike Prom will square off against Deputy Chief of the GTVFD Bob Baker. All of them have their hair on the chopping block to raise money for the cause. Out of each pairing, the person with the most money on his head will end up with the least amount of hair!
