The Haines Winter Games will be held Sunday.
First held as the Winter Olympics in 1999, the event started as a hockey tournament under the fairgounds’ Payson’s Pavilion during an especially cold and snowy winter.
A BB-gun biathlon, snowshoe race and turkey bowling were added, some flags were strung, and Haines High School music teacher Darold Kludt led opening ceremonies by playing “Olympic Fanfare” on his trumpet.
The games repeats every year with events changing…
