TEMPE, Ariz. -- The Ewens just call it "the barn," but Bruce Ewen admits it is more of a multi-purpose center. The cold-storage area houses toys for a family that loves to snowmobile, airboat, hunt, fish and cycle near its home in St. Francis, Minnesota. The heated half serves as Bruce's workshop, and a weight room for him, his wife, Kristi, and their daughters, Alicia and Maggie.
When Maggie started showing prowess in the throwing events of track and field as a kid, the barn assumed an added function.
"In this state, you've got to have somewhere warm to go train," Bruce said, chuckling.
