Islendinga
DUNK Hey... want to knock your best friend into the lake
with a sponge- filled sack? Wear chain mail and a
helmet in the hot sun and re- enact a Viking raid?
Sample dishes with names you can’t pronounce
( ponnukokur... jolahrisgrjonagrautur...)? Then we
have just the place for you: the Icelandic Festival of
Manitoba in Gimli. It’s clearly a lot more fun than it
might sound, because it’s the second- oldest
continuous ethnic festival in North America and
thousands will be releasing their inner Icelander
just a 75- minute drive north of Winnipeg today and
Monday.

Paul ‘ The Albino Rhino’ May defeats
Greg ‘ Scrawny Kid’ Jordan
to win his fourth consecutive
Islendingadunk title. Competitors
battle one another with a
sponge- filled sack while sitting
on a soap- covered beam over
Gimli Harbour. Losing looks like
it’s even more fun than winning.
