1932 – Winter
Sports Week – A group of civic boosters in Minot in 1932
were promoting the idea of holding a
Winter Sports Week in Minot. The event would begin the next year in 1933. One
of the promoters was Casper Oimoen, of Olympic Skiing fame. Some of the events
considered were skiing, Curling, Hockey games, Figure Skating, and Dog Sled
races, (which were already held and sponsored by the Lions Club.) There was a
possibility of holding the state bowling tournament to kick everything
off. Indoor events were also considered
such as basketball. The Minot Winter
Sports week, if held, would be similar to the St. Paul Winter Carnival
