Club News

Unbelievable might be a good word for our event Saturday. The Pub was packed virtually the entire time between maybe 11:30 and the drawing with only a slight lull after the Badger Basketball game ended. The SnoBunnies like to thank the 50 businesses, members and others who donated the quality prizes despite the terrible financial years they are having, The many volunteers that help gather the prize and work the event. The many locals who have been so instrumental in supporting the club and filling the gaps left by low visitation this year. Our fellow snowmobile clubs that found time to support each other’s events that day, and finally our members, many who came from out of town to help support the club. Other than a financial success I think the event was really fun. The event raised $5,539 for the club compared to $2,370 last year, by my estimation 116% of the value of the prizes donated, so quite a success.

Thanks to all the members and volunteers who contributed their valuable time to the Meat and 50/50 raffles that took place during last week’s Super Bowl. Also thanks to the PI Pub for hosting the event again this year and providing a fabulous free buffet to the people in attendance. A good time was had by all. The six rounds of meat raffles raised

$1,155 and the club’s portion of the 50/50 raffle was $415 for a total of $1,570. Pictures of the event will be on facebook and the SnoBunnies Website.

Thanks to all our members and volunteers who had a hand in our successful Trailside Party on Saturday the 20th. Also a special thanks to the Lynx Lake Lodge for hosting the event, providing nice prizes and donating $1 for each of the 209 drinks sold during the event. The party raised close to $2,500 of much needed funds for the club, which compares favorably to most of our events. As you can probably figure out, fundraising is a challenge this year with visitors to the area down significantly. Unfortunately the monthly groomer loan payments don’t care about the weather and pre-season maintenance on the groomers was considerable. We need all we can get. Thanks to everybody.

Prize winners were: Donated Jacket: Scott Topp, Donated Helmet: Charlie Fleck (Donated back to the club to raffle in the future), Cornhole Tournament: Charlie & Tanner Fleck

Price $38.50/person pay at the door.
