Tara Lila presents the Inaugural

HIMANAJI WINTER CHALLENGE

**CANCELED**

Due to the lack of snowfall this season, the inaugural Himanaji Winter Challenge 5k snowshoe race scheduled for Feb 3 is now canceled.  In addition, Tara Lila's annual Snowshoe Celebration will be postponed until we have adequate snow.  When we have snow available, we will host a Luminary Walk and campfire at our Ripco Road Location. More details are available at www.taralila.org/events.
