Getting the Fire Started

Snow Slide on the Trail

Yes, We "Bite"

Once again, the Methow Valley Snowmobile Association was an enthusiastic participant in the Winthrop Kiwanis Club's "Bite of the Methow" that was held March 16th at the Winthrop Barn.  Almost 400 hundred tickets were sold for the Bite. Diners were offered a delicious choice of Don's Caesar Salad, Dalyn's Lobster Pesto Pasta Salad and Chris's Fresh Fruit Salad.

Thanks to the club members who volunteered for this event and to those who came out to feast on an awesome array of food in support of the Kiwanis club.

Cervical collars, arm casts...this is the latest in snowmobiler accessories. They might be a bit hard to find at your favorite sno-mo gear store though.

Dolly says, "We might be out for the season but man it was fun!  See you all next year! We will be ready!"

Dolly and Mark

 You'll need to ask Mark or Dolly for the details on how they acquired their stylish accessories.
