President's Note

Thank you so much to all our Club Members who helped make our ATV Rodeo a great success. Glad to see Jamsie Green is still alive after participating in the Rodeo, and Bobby Eggerling for being Our oldest contestant member. Nice job guys!
A Special thank you to Mark and Denise Hannon, owners of the Hayloft Pub for all their hard work setting up this Rodeo and during the Rodeo. We really had a great turn out and a beautiful day.

News

There will be no more Sunday afternoon work details until further notice, however our usual Tuesday evening work details are still on the schedule.

Caprara Brothers Yamaha has made us an offer. For every ATV sold to a Club Member with a valid club membership card, they will donate $50.00 to the club. So if you are in the market for an ATV this might be a good place to consider shopping.
