There will be a Crib tournament on Jan. 17 at the Green Lake Snowmobile Club clubhouse at 176 Green Lake South Road.

The sign-up for the tournament goes from 6 to 6:45 p.m.

The tournament starts at 7 p.m., and there is a $5 fee for players who want to go into the winning pot. There will be a few categories for the winners. 

This is a rotating Crib tournament, and players will change tables after everyone in your group has dealt once.

There will be a break between each rotation, so there will be time to socialize. Bring a snack to the event to share with everyone.

If you don't like Crib, bring your favourite game, or just hang out and chat with friends and meet new friends.

invite a neighbour or friend. Non-club member quests will have to pay $5.

Snowmobiling safety

Snowmobiling can be a safe and fun activity.

However, there are risks involved, especially on cut-block logging roads that haven't been plowed. The attraction to the wide roads is high, but riders must be cautious while riding on these types of roads.

They may have been deactivated with deep swales or dips that can be hard to see. The best course of action is to use caution until you are familiar with the deactivated roads or system of roads and are aware of the hazards.

With the recent logging activity in the vicinity of the Green Lake/Watch Lake area trails, hazards will exist. A local snowmobiler was recently injured hitting one of these deactivation ditches. 

Please remember to use caution when you are out sledding!
