2020 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP SNOWMOBILE DERBY

Faces of the Derby

While the 57th running of the World Championship Snowmo- bile Derby attracted the best racers from the United States and Canada, Derby fans and celebrities also were important to the four-day event that brings thousands to the Eagle River area. The fans come to watch the races, ride the trails and enjoy festivities surrounding the greatest race in snowmobil- ing. Some of the scenes from around the track included: Above left: A young Derby fan got a better view of the races on the shoulders of an adult relative. Above right: Discover Wisconsin host Mariah Haberman was introduced to the Friday Night Thunder spectators. Right: A spectator uses his tongue to get a taste of fresh snow during the races. Below right: Derby fan Kally Wojo of Greenbush, Minn., was all smiles during Championship Sunday. Below left: Sno-Eagles Queen Kortnie Volk of Three Lakes carried the Badger State Winter Games torch.
