Club Breakfast scheduled for Sunday, March 30th, 2025!

Let’s get together and have breakfast at the Birchwood Grill! It’s a great way to celebrate the wrap up of the riding season and just enjoy each other’s company! We will meet in one of the front rooms at the Birchwood Grill at 10 a.m. to enjoy a buffet breakfast and share tall tales of this year’s riding adventures! Cost is $10 for members and $5 for member’s children under 8. We love our members and the club breakfast is a great time every year! 🙂

First Aid – What to do if someone if injured on the trail!

Prairie Riders hosted a first aid presentation for snowmobilers at 6 p.m., Wednesday, January 17, 2024 (before our meeting at 7 p.m.) at the Brat Stop.

Lt. Mark Ericson from the Bristol Fire Department gave us an introduction to trail side first aid with an emphasis on “Stopping the Bleed”. Bristol Fire and Rescue is willing to teach anyone interested in this topic or learning CPR, fire safety, etc. Just reach out to them. Here are a few photos from the presentation.

Oh what fun we have! Christmas 2023

On Wednesday, December 20th, 2023, the club gathered to celebrate the holiday season together. Over 80 members attended the dinner at The Birchwood Grill in Kenosha. Santa made a visit and all children 12 and under received a present! The club held silent auctions, raffles and did a collection of items and money for Women and Children’s Horizons, a local charity that helps victims of sexual violence and abuse. We collected over $500 cash and hundreds of dollars worth of items! It was a great night for our amazing club!
