The Killam Lions Club hosted a snowmobile rally this past Saturday, Feb. 22 and had a perfect day weather wise for the event.
After the last few weeks of temperatures in the low 20s and 30s with high wind chills, it was a nice change for participants on Saturday to have the thermometer close to zero.
Killam Lions member Rick Krys says the event drew 110 different machines, whose riders purchased 170 hands.
High hand winner won $640 at the event, and low hand won $330, as participants ride around and collect cards at designated checkpoints. Two wilds won $330 each.
Krys says the weather was probably the best they could have hoped for, and that the event really went very well.
He said the club really appreciated all the farmers who allowed the Lions to use their land on the rally route.
Riders made use of shops at Moser Farms and Coldstream Farms, along with a cabin owned by Terry Hamilton, and Krys says the Lions Club is extremely grateful to all three for allowing the event to use their buildings.
