The trail at corridor 21 just south of Washington St. (by 72nd St) is at risk of being closed by the landowner!
One of the landowners has reported to Tom Mask that a truck(s) was driven down the snowmobile trail on his PRIVATE property and cut pulp logs into fire wood then stole about a truck load of wood. The landowner is very upset and has threatened to close this section of trail down. Please come forward if you have any information about this incident.

Tom Mask has asked that he needs ALL the billing; this includes grooming & non-grooming work hours, in his hands before June 20th! The County will no longer pay late bills, absolutely NO exceptions! You can contact Tom at 715-572-1332 with any questions.

November's Newsletter

It's that time of year when we start all the hard work to prepare the trails for the upcoming season. The work we do now is what makes the trails safe and accessible. If this work doesn't get done the trails don't open. We have only a handful of people who do the work and would greatly appreciate help. Tom Mask is the trail boss and the person to call to get direction to help. His number is 572-1332. He has already been mowing and signing trails.

The AWSC is really pushing for the CAP program. This would be a 2 tier program for the trail support in the state of Wisconsin. What is being proposed is that everyone would pay a 1 time registration fee for the time you own your snowmobile of $15.00. Then everyone including out of state and in state residents will pay a $35.00 trail pass fee. If you belong to an AWSC snowmobile club you would only pay a lesser fee of $15.00 annually. The details are being worked out.

New Wood County trail maps are done and they will be distributed this month.

We are working on grooming fees for establishments we groom to that are not on the funded trails. This includes a $50.00 fee for the ad in our newsletter & website, a $100.00 ad on the billboard the will be on the drag. We will also be selling ads to any business that would like to advertise at the listed prices plus a set up fee (for the billboard) of $20.00.

Th Chug-a-Bugs will be at our next meeting. They are disbanding and some would like to join our club. There were some stipulations and we need you to be there with your input.

The Kellner Knights are hosting the County Ride on February 14th and are thinking of meeting at the Grand Rapids Lions Club. We are looking to make this into a fundraiser.

We now have a WEBSITE!! Check it out it's http://www.kellnerknights.com/ If you're not receiving your emails about the monthly newsletters, you can find the link to them on the website.

Your memberships are due. There will be a form on the website soon for you to fill out to renew. At the Donahue Super Sports Fall Show we gained a new member!

Our next meeting is Nov. 13 and ther will be a Fundraiser before the meeting. It's a Partylite Extravaganza from 4:00 to 7:00 at The Ridges. Public is welcome and our regular meeting will follow. You were sent a personal invitation to this. Please support this effort.
