A chilly Nov. 12 heralded Interlakes Snowmobile Club’s (ISC) annual membership drive at Interlakes Corner. Everyone was invited to drop by, especially our many new residents, to ask questions and purchase a membership or two.
ISC made special mention of Performance All Terrain & Rentals, for the use of the enclosed trailer and gift certificate prizes, South Cariboo Motor Sports and Wettstone Guest Ranch for awesome prizes, and RONA’s Steve Brown for providing the venue.
Twenty-seven members were signed up, seven of them new, and all were entered in the prize draw. Winners were as follows:
$200 gift certificate, Alex Boulay
FXR backpack, Rod Boulay
FXR hoody, Shelley Neufeld
FXR T-shirt, Steve Smith
$25 gift certificates, Shirley Scott and Andrew Walker
Wettstone Ranch gift certificate, Dean Goddard
ISC is eagerly looking forward to this season’s rides. Residents can follow them, and/or send messages, on their Facebook page, “Interlakes Snowmobile Club.”
