2019 Annual Hotdog Roast - Another successful year!
SNOWMOBILERS HAVE WARM HEARTS
Organizers of International Voyageurs Snowmobile Club’s annual hot dog roast held Feb 2nd were pleasantly surprised. “Actually we are always blown away by the generosity shown by fellow riders” said Jim Bigler, president of IVSC. This started years ago, riders visiting the area and attending our event just started throwing couple bucks in a box in appreciation. The first year it happened IVSC board decided to match the donations and pay it forward to Falls Hunger Coalition. Each year this seems to grow. This year Steve Thomopoulos, one of the organizers, presented a check in the amount of $1402.00 Snowmobiling is a cold sport but riders have big hearts!
