President’s Message
We are on the brink of another snowmobile season. By the time you read this, we will have experienced our first snowfall of the season and low temperatures are forecast in the 20’s for the next two weeks in St. Germain. The trails and the equipment are almost ready for the season.
Thanks to all of the volunteers who helped with brushing and cleaning the trails. It was a great turn out. Also thank you to Red, White, and Brew for hosting the after brushing celebration and Spang’s for providing the pizzas. Our Signmaster, John Lindberg, and his assistants have been busy replacing old and damaged trail signs. They have replaced over 150 signs to ensure you have well marked, safe trails. The new 2023-2024 Bo-Boen trail maps have been printed and soon will be available at our advertisers’ businesses. Please patronize our advertisers; they are a big part of the success of our trail system.
We have two important fundraising events coming up in February. Hiller’s Radar Run is February 2nd and 3rd, and the Arrowhead Groomer Show is February 7th and 8th. We will need a lot of volunteers for the Radar Run. We will be providing food and beverages for both events and parking for the Radar Run. Please mark your calendar for these events and consider volunteering. In our next newsletter we will have a link to the volunteer schedule. You can keep up to date on Bo-Boen happenings and snowmobiling in our area by reading our Facebook page and checking our website.
Let’s all do our part to keep our trails safe and enjoyable by riding your side of the trail. As always, think snow.
Roger Klein, President

From The Trail Boss
Fall is here, the leaves are coming down and winter cannot be far away! Thanks to everyone who came to Brushing Day on October 14. There was a great turnout - it was nice to see familiar faces as well as lots of new ones who came to help. A Big Thank You to Red, White and Brew for hosting our “After Party” and Spangs for providing the pizzas.
We are finished with the big arm on the blue tractor and will be putting the arm in storage. We now will be using the brush hog on the blue tractor to put the finishing touches on the trails before the winter snow arrives.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
