The trails are open!
225 club ticket sales are going slow. Half the tickets still remain to be sold. Its very important we sell every ticket this year, because the money raised is going into our Excavator fund for future payment. If you haven't received a packet yet to sell, or would like to purchase a ticket, please contact Brad Hilton at 315-298-3261

UPCOMING EVENT
On April 15th at the Altmar Hotel
will be the new “Trail Truck” key presentation
to President, Steve Cronk with Assembly members Will
Barclay and DeDe Scozzafava in attendance along with
Oswego County Legislators. A Trail Truck demonstration
is planned. Come and see how this truck works and
how the Club will benefit from it’s use.
The “Trail Truck” raffle drawing will
be made following the truck presentation awarding
$500. to the lucky winner. Tickets will be available
for sale just prior to the drawing.
ALL MEMBERS ARE URGED TO SHOW THEIR SUPPORT
and attend the Annual Meeting. Nominations for
officers will be made at this meeting, with elections
following.
Following the annual meeting a guided trail ride is
planned if enough of you come prepared to ride at
4 PM. Show your support – bring your machine.
TRADE SHOW
On June 10th and 11th our 2nd annual Trade Show/Craft
Fair & ATV Rodeo will be held at the Town House
Restaurant in Williamstown. This year we are
combining the Trade Show with a ATV Rodeo to make
the event more appealing to all who love four wheeling.
Barry and Thelma Moot are chairpersons for this event.
To make this event more successful each year
requires a lot of time and work for all involved.
The more people we can count on to help makes the
load a lot lighter. Please call Barry or Thelma
to offer your help. You can reach them at 298-2480.
Your help could make the difference in organizing
this event.
ATV Rodeo
This years Rodeo will be a two day event if there
are enough competitors to warrant it. The events
included will be a mud bog, log pull and car climb.
The cost for these events will be
$10 for competitors each day of the rodeo.
Lottery Ticket Sales
This year Chairperson Dave Gaffey, Jr. has opted to
run this annual lottery in August. Tickets will
be disbursed to the club membership starting in June.
It is felt that this lottery conflicted with membership
collections early in the season and was moved to a
more appropriate time of the year.
The cost of each ticket will remain at $5. each.
If you have questions please contact Dave at 964-1122.

Sponsor Discount
All club members are now being offered a 10% discount

Motorsports in Fulton, The Caprara
Toy Store in Pulaski Preferred Powersports in
Brewerton, and Waite Motorsports in Adams Center.

Again this year Wheel-A-Way Motorsports in Fulton
is donating a new ATV for use by the Defiance Fire
Dept. in Altmar for this new season. Our thanks
go to Mark Eagan for his generosity.
Trail News
The President is asking that you all please stay on
the trails. Many of our landowners have mentioned
that especially muddy trails seem to get wider as
the season goes on. They would like you all to enjoy
those trails, but remember not to make your own trails
and follow the ones already there. Remember you’re
riding an ATV and are bound to get some mud on that
machine.
Member Chuck Skinner has built a ticket booth for
the Club. It can be used at any of our Club events.
Nice job Chuck.
President’s Note
In the four years this Club has been in existence
no one has given us anything. We have had to fight
for everything with the help of fund raisers, sponsorships,
donations and memberships. We have been sitting back
asking our Senators, Assembly members, etc. to bring
funding to us. Now let’s go get it. We need
to rally 400-500 people to go to Albany and show them
we mean business. Come to the April meeting and
tell us how you feel.
Steve Cronk
President
“Help us save our trails –
Ride by the Rules”
