From the Editor: Many thanks to all of those who came out to the Miesville fire station on Sunday for the Doug Weber benefit. The
turnout was wonderful so let’s keep the prayers that a match can be made for our friend and neighbor.
The sense of community is certainly alive and well here and that is also very evident each year at this time when
many people take their time and prepare the fields to put the trails in, get all of the signs and keep them groomed
all season. All of this so hundreds of others can safely ride the trails in and around this community.
My hat is off to those who give of themselves selflessly for others.

February 4-6, 2012 - Big Sandy Lodge & Resort - McGregor, MN
Preparation is underway for the 2011 club trip. If you joined in on last year’s trip you’ll know what fun
it can be. If you missed it then you owe it to yourself to find out what is being planned for this year’s
trip and join in on all of the fun and festivities. It’s new and different every year.
More information will be presented at the November meeting. Check out the next edition of this

Snows a Coming Bowl-A-Thon

Saturday, November 19, 2011. Meet at Extreme Bowl, Treasure Island Resort and Casino, at
7:00 and bowl from 7:30 – 9:30. It will be some great fun for all as we wait for the snow to
begin falling so bring your families and let’s do some bowling. Approximate cost per person

Trivia Answer
The summer of 1971 saw the introduction of this diminutive Cat. It was Kawasaki powered until 1976, which then saw the switch to Suzuki power plants. Originally priced at $399, the early models are now collector items. The Kitty Cat remained virtually without competition until the 1998 Ski-Doo MiniZ
appeared at dealers. Numbers are hard to come by but an
estimated 40,000 of these cats were put into the hands of kids
across the snow belt.

Trail Signs
Sign Assembly at the Frandrup
farm the week following the
November meeting. Tentative
Thursday November 3 at 6:30PM.
Everyone likes the larger
diamonds, they are the same cost
as the smaller ones.
Pot-O-Gold At each membership meeting, a
paid member’s name is drawn
for the Pot-O-Gold. If the
member is present at the
meeting, they win the Pot-O-
Gold! If that member is absent,
the money stays in the pot and
increases $25 each month until
the pot is won. At the March
meeting, names will be drawn
until someone present wins!
Make sure to be at the meeting
so you are eligible for the
drawing.
2012 Vintage Show & Run
Plans are currently under way for this year’s show, expected to be
bigger and better than ever.

I’m always looking for new ideas or suggestions.
Would you like your SnoMos dues PAID for one year? Would you like a FREE one year TRAIL PASS?
YOU COULD HAVE BOTH!! Here’s how:
Bring in one NEW paid member and your $10.00 SnoMos dues will be paid for one year. Bring in two NEW paid members and you will get one year of SnoMos dues paid PLUS you will
receive $16.00 when you present your receipt for a Minnesota Trail Pass!!
We need your help—have any ideas on how to bring in new members? Let us know and you may also be eligible for similar rewards.
