Hello F e l l o w Snowmobile Hopefuls!! Seems like Mother Nature is teasing a lot of us with a taste of winter now and then, but it is just not enough to get the true enjoyment of winter started. At our monthly club meeting we discussed our upcoming fun run to be held December 8, 2012. Does not look like we will have any snow for it, but it is still always
%
Dakota Trail Blazers a fun time for all who attend; good food and great socializing. We want to thank all of our sponsors for donating door prizes and we very much appreciate their support of our local trail system. Trail signing is nearing completion. Thanks to all who have helped with this big job! We have also gotten together a couple of times to make more signs, and thanks to everyone who has shown up to help with that project. It seems like every year we all learn a little more on how to do things better. Each year it also seems that we discover a new set of problems involving signing the
trail system correctly, but probably most trail systems have the same economic growing pains. Thank you to Dale for taking on the task of making sure this job is done properly and safely. Hope everyone attending the State Convention had a great time. All for now. Think snow! Sherman Pladsen
RURAL CASS SNOWMOBILE IT’S SO “FLAT OUT FUN� THAT WE’RE DOING IT AGAIN – Join the Rural Cass Snowmobile Club for our annual snowmobile bash, known as SnowJam 2013. SnowJam 2013 will be held Saturday, Jan. 19. Headquarters for SnowJam this year is Hagge’s Bar and Grill in Mapleton, ND. SnowJam 2013 will feature a funfilled snowmobile trail ride along the 100 plus freshly groomed trails across Cass County. Ride as many or as few miles as you wish, and pick up tickets at the various trail stops along the way. These tickets will give you a chance at great prizes that evening.
The more tickets you pick, the more chances you have to win the many, many prizes that will be available. Or, if vintage sleds are more your style, bring your vintage sled in the morning for the vintage snowmobile display, and head out later with the other retro riders on a short vintage snowmobile ride. There will be more
snowmobiling fun that day, so check the SnowJam website often at www. SnowJam.org.
