Despite temperatures in the low single digits and steady light snow, a merry band of racers and watchers turned out for the 41st annual Cabin Fever Days Bar Stool races Saturday on Sugar Hill in Martin City. Winds were actually light, compared to Columbia Falls, where it was howling. The races continue today (Sunday) at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. (finals). It should be cold again, but with light winds.
