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

NEXT MEETING

On June 17th the regular monthly meeting will be held at 11 AM at the Half-Shire Historical Society Bldg. in Richland, New York.

MAP NEWS

One of our members, Dave Leone, has put together a map of our Club’s trails only. The new maps will be ready and available at the Trade Show and other local places very soon. We are all very thankful to Dave for his efforts. Thanks Dave.

NEW SPONSOR DISCOUNT

Eddy’s Place located in Pulaski, NY on Rte. 13 is a new sponsor this month. Eddy and Paula Ward are offering a 10% discount on all dinners served to members during the month of June. You must have your club membership card with you when you order to receive this discount.

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 an 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 for 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. There will be a 100% payback. Sign up @ 9 AM. The Rodeo starts @ noon.

WEST EXTENSION NEWS

The next regular monthly meeting of the West Extension will be held June 13th at 7 PM at Rosie’s Tavern, Old Rte. 3, Fulton.

The West Extension had a great turnout for the recent chicken barbeque. Thanks to all who helped out. Let’s make the pig roast on July 29th just as profitable. Help is always appreciated in any of these events.

Jim Marra and another board member of the West Extension attended a recent Club board meeting to announce that the West Extension will be separating from the main Club. The board has agreed to make this separation effective January 1, 2007. Until that time all events, meetings, etc will go on as previously scheduled. It was felt by members of the West Extension that since Rte. 81 and the Oswego River stop trail progress for us to meet, they would pursue going to the west and south to expand their trails.

SPONSOR DONATIONS

Caprara Bros. Outdoor Toy Store in Pulaski is the proud sponsor of our 2nd annual Trade Show. Thunder Alley Sports in Fulton is the sponsor of the Rodeo. We are very happy to have this support and hope that our members will patronize these businesses along with all of our sponsors for all their ATV needs. A special thanks goes to Caprara Bros. and Thunder Alley Sports.

The Club has received a $500. donation from Mike Rose, of Fulton, to be put toward the Trail Truck purchase. Our thanks to Mike who is both member and sponsor of the Club. Thank you Mike.
