Miss Lucille refuses to give cruelty the last word in her story. Another suspect was caught on surveillance footage but is still on the run. The bills would limit access to school sports. What laws apply to giveaways and promotions in the U.S.? In the U.S., federal laws governing marketing promotions have been in place for decades. Sweepstakes are the most common type of promotion and have primarily been conducted through the mail, which is where many of the laws originate (Chapter 30 of Title 39 of the U.S. The reason why so many sweepstakes are void in Quebec is that the sponsors must follow a stringent set of laws set out by Quebec's Regie des alcools, des courses et des jeux (RACJ), which governs alcohol, lotteries, contests, gambling, and more.

TRAIL CONDITIONS:
3/1/21 – The trails are probably in fair condition at this point. Most likely very icy. A few of the groomers will go out tonight to see if there is anything to work with but the trails around town are probably terrible. Its possible that some of the trails out in the woods are still fairly decent but we won't know until after tonight. Unless we get some more snow during the week the trails will likely start closing. Maybe we can get one more weekend out of them. The bike path gates are officially closed but you can still scratch your way down to the lake via the trail along 9L.
2/25/21 – All four groomers are out tonight and trails should be good.
2/17/21 – The trails are hard and flat! Groomers have been out and every trail will be hit by tonight. We have had reports of some sleds overheating due to the lack of loose snow, so ice scratchers are a good idea. The rocks are disappearing and the trails are probably the best they have been in quite some time. All washouts are now frozen and covered over; even the trail to the West Mtn. parking lot is in fairly good condition, which is rare. The trail through Mt Kenyon campground (C4) is temporarily closed due to construction but we hope it will be open by this weekend. This prevents you from making it to Lake Vanare on this trail so you will have to take one of the other ways. The trail we closed last week through the same area is now open so you can loop around still. With the cold weather we have, the trails should remain in excellent condition through the weekend.. Get out and ride while it's good!
