Volunteers Needed!!
Here it is Nov 1st already, which is only a month away from the time of the year we all look forward to “Snowmobile Trail Opening on Dec 1st”. This is the busiest time of the year for club members, as we have to brush and disk large portions of our trail to ride with marginal snow and enjoy the ride. We must also make numerous signs to safely guide snowmobilers to their destination and help prevent trespassing on private property. If you have time to help, please call our Trail Administrator, Tony Balata, @ 507-838-0256. Any help will be greatly appreciated!! NOTE: Tony has hit the ground running as he has been involved in landowner changes brushing and has attended seminars on DNR/RTP Grants, Safety and Trail Signing.
