We had a great time at Lily Lake Resort in August! What’s not to like about hanging out in the sunshine! Why Not Wednesdays will be back next summer! Thanks to those who came out in June and August!
A nice time was had at our annual club breakfast at the Birchwood Grill in Kenosha. We enjoyed each other’s company while enjoying a great buffet breakfast. Thank you to all the members and landowners who attended our event! We sincerely thank all our landowners and club volunteers for their donation of land and time to our club and sport!
A few members (seven to be exact) gave it a go and headed to Munising for our club trip at The Buckhorn Resort. Snow cover was reported to be low but there was an expectation for snow on Friday and Saturday night. Low and behold, it happened as predicted! YAY!
The group rode together both days and enjoyed decent trails and low traffic. On Sunday, quite literally we were “busting trail” with a foot of new snow! The group went to “Big Springs” (Kitch-iti-Kipi) and rode to Miner’s Castle overlook. It was a great trip!
Some photos of our trip!
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.
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!
New for the 2023-2024 season!
