There are some extremely generous people in the Wausau area. Keith Kocourek is one of them, and the volunteers who support central Wisconsin ski racing are many, many others.
We were privileged to team with Kocourek Automotive on February 19th as they presented “Truth In Motion: The US Ski Team’s Road to Vancouver” at the Grand [...]
