The grass drags were held on October 27th. These were again held at the Seiler farms on XX. The turnout this year was very poor but everyone had a good time. The club would like to thank the Seiler Family for allowing us to hold our drags there. It was also voted on to make Brad, Todd, and Eric Seiler members of our club and we will also be purchasing gift certificates from Cimirolis for the family. It was also voted on to add the Seiler Family name to our sign at our park along the canal. The club would also like to thank the Columbia County Sheriffs department for the use of their radar.
The nut sale has ended and once again we have topped last year. However we still have extra bags to sell. These can be purchased at either Polnows or The Hair Lair.
The new trail along 33 going to Pardeeville has been brushed and is ready to be marked. Trail marking will take place on December 1st. Everyone is to meet at the groomer shed at 9 a.m.
It was discussed to use the old doors at the shed to build a lean-to.
The county Christmas party will be held on December 20th at Johnson Sales. A challenge was handed out to all the clubs and the club that has the most members there will receive free membership to the county for the year. Everyone is asked to bring a dish to pass or a snack (but it is not required), canned good for the food pantry, and a white elephant item. There will also be a silent auction. Refreshments will start at 6 with a short meeting at 6:30 followed by the party.
January 25th is the date that has been set for the club ride. We will again try to go to Ladysmith.
More details will be discussed at our December meeting.
