| Synopsis |
| Just when Yukoners thought it was safe to turn on the radio without hearing another story about the 2007 Canada Winter Games, Jesse and Mark offer a heartwarming piece about an elite squad that really shone during the event. No, we’re not talking about Team Yukon’s skiers. We’re talking about the small band of traveling event specialists who help pull it all off. Whatever you call them—“Games gypsies,” “Games junkies,” or “Game gyunkies”—they’re moving on, but not before they share some thoughts about their nomadic lifestyle. |
