The Classic kicks off Thursday, March 7, with a poker run in downtown Whitefish. Friday features family fun with Meet the Players at Whitefish Mountain Resort and the Play 60 Challenge sponsored by the Whitefish Credit Union. Saturday night is the main event with the Winter Classic Gala at the Lodge at Whitefish Lake.
The weekend winds down on Sunday with a Champagne Brunch at the Whitefish Lake Restaurant. For more information, visit online at www.whitefishwinterclassic.org.
