The Iron Range loves sports of all kinds, not only as regular residents, but as businesspeople. Ask any hotelier or restaurant owner and they'll tell you how important those traveling teams are for revenue. Hockey tournaments are huge, followed by skiing, curling, basketball, swimming, you name it. Even horseshoes, dog field trials and dirt track racing. There's potential for more events on the Mesabi Trail, ATV trails, disc golf courses and more. The Iron Range Tourism Bureau attended the event described in this post. Hopefully it's a market segment we can grow. Sports teams are always welcome on the Range!
