February, 21st

Dear friends, I am Raavee, the mascot of the Arctic Winter Games. The Games will take place in Fairbanks, Canada on the 15th of March. Nine teams will take part in the competition. I wanted to decorate my town with the garlands of flags. But a strong wind blew and all my flags were gone with it. Help me to collect the flags and make a wonderful garland. Yours, Raavee.
