We're losing our heritage

We can't let this happen:
A Yukon tradition is in danger of fading away because of milder northern winters: fewer and fewer women are participating in Whitehorse's annual hairy legs contest.

Who says Canadians ain't got culture?!!
I'd enter the contest. It might be good since another cold snap is coming.
I wonder if Kevin could pass as a woman? He'd win that contest hands down!
Darryl, you may remember "L.K." (initials used to protect her identity). She went to CBS with us for a few years. Beat me in Greek as I recall - though that was no great feat. I used to see her on the TTC occasionally in the winter. The hair on her legs was growing through her nylons. Nice look, but I guess it held them up!
Lisa Kudrow went to CBS? Good news: I've applied for a gov't grant to preserve this part of our heritage!
