February 2025 Newsletter
February 2025 Newsletter
Finally, a newsletter from the Barnstormers! It may be short but important!
If you received this Newsletter, then we have your correct email. We have addresses now for 250 of our 278 renewed member households. We are trying hard to get the remaining ones.
Your Club will be using email more in the future to keep you informed and updated on what's happening. With updates on the website, posts on Facebook, and emails we should be able to reach most of our members.
We will NOT send trail reports by email. Those will be found on the website and Facebook.
Have a safe and enjoyable snowmobiling season.
Not the Year We Planned
The year 2024 was one no one wants to talk about, between No Snow, loss of some dedicated members and worries of "will the club survive". Well, we want to let you know we are here and still GOING STRONG!
Membership, new and old, have stepped up to do volunteer and jobs of running the club: officers, groomers, fundraisers, equipment and building maintenance, memberships and much more. If anyone is interested, please let us know. Elections will be at the March meeting; nominations will be at the February meeting.
Just this past week Vilas County opened all County Roads to ATV/UTV traffic all year long. The Town of Plum Lake has done the same for County Roads. Some signage needs to be done- watch for PSA.
The Club will try to do more newsletters throughout the year.
Sorry for the delay! Let's Snow Dance!

Sayner Celebrated 100 years
Sayner celebrated 100 years of being the Birthplace of the Snowmobile. The Barnstormers were able to dedicate the Plum Creek Bridge and part of the trail Carl Eliason rode in 1924. Tracks on Snow for 100 years!
Trails Are Open
Our trails are open. Please Ride Right and Safe. We do need more snow, and trails are in early season conditions with a good base.
Membership Corner
Our membership has increased every year, as well as your support and donations are unbelievable. We are able to do what we do because of YOUR GREAT SUPPORT!
