The date is getting closer everyone. If you haven`t called the Hillcrest and paid for your dinner please do so as soon as possible, we are trying to figure out how many are coming. We need this info for set up and shuttle runs. Some great items have been donated for the raffle and auction to benefit the CAC for snowmobile specific programs. Please remember to bring a non perishable food item for the Revelstoke Food Bank Christmas Hamper. Reps from the Food Bank and from the CAC will also be there. We have some special guests joining us also. Looking forward to seeing everyone and getting the season underway.

Thanks to everyone who put this event on, it is a huge task to organize, and manage a large event such as this. The event was a success, once again sledders stepped up and made things happen. Dinner was great, the prizes and products were great, the video was pretty cool to watch, good to see and hangout with friends.

Thanks to all who helped or showed up.
