Northeastern Wis. Snowmobile Sled Fest

For those with sleds, why not participate and have some fun.

NEWS RELEASE -


Sled Fest! – North Chase, Wisconsin

The 1st Annual Snowmobile Speed Runs will be held Saturday, January 29, 2011 at Sled Fest in North Chase. The event is being presented by Krakow High Noon Riders and Chase Sno-Chasers Snowmobile clubs, along with Stone Barn Foundation??.

Area snowmobile clubs came together with area businesses to help keep our passion for snowmobiling local. We all know that snowmobiling is an important part of the state’s winter tourism, so we are making that effort to keep it local. With the help of many volunteers, and hopefully a “little” more snow, we look forward to an awesome Sled Fest!

Speed Runs will be held at Rusty’s Sled Shop on County “S” in Sobieski. Pre-registration will take
place from 8-10 a.m., and Speed Runs will be held from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Rusty will have vendors for informational and educational information.

There will be other events taking place throughout the day. The Chase Stone Barn will be hosting tours and for the first 200 people, at 11:00 a.m., there will be a chance for someone to win a new snowmobile at the “Hole in One” Golf Contest. Rides??? Videos of racing in Montona????

One of our many pit stop sponsors, North Chase Citgo Gas & Car Wash, has a Charbroil Grill with an attached Smoker (donated by Tom Gwidt of Gwidt Home Inspections, LLC) that will be part of the many raffled items. Also, North Chase Bar & Grill will have food, music and a Snow Bunny Contest.

“I had a vision, but I didn’t know it would be big,” said Tom Gwidt. This is good for the Town of Chase and good for the clubs too. “Many area people came together, bringing their talents to the table, and I am awed of the involvement we have received,” was Gwidt’s comment.

Rusty from Rusty’s Sled Shop in Sobieski just reminded everyone that if they are unable to participate, that perhaps they would be willing to donate to the Stone Barn Foundation???, as this is such an asset to the community.

“The vision of the group is to be able to expand in future years, to work together to make it grow, and invite others to participate in the event next year also,” was the comment made by Harold Peterson, owner of North Chase Citgo Gas & Car Wash. Rusty commented, “We could have a Show ‘n Shine – which would be a contest for the best wrapped sled, best lights, etc.”

Be sure to join us in a day of fun-filled snowmobiling events – to help reinvigorate snowmobiling!
