Something old, something new, something smashed and something bruised

By Jennifer Fruin 


Believe me, you will not want to miss the ice oval snowmobile racing at the Boonville Fairgrounds on January 30, 31, and February 1, 2009. Speeds on the straight-a-way on this 1/4-mile ice track are in excess of 95mph, corners at around 80, and a heart rate at about 110 beats per second!  You will be afraid to blink as you hear the loud roar of the motors while breathing in that ice cold air, tickling your nose with the sweet smell of racing fuel.  Aah, I have goosebumps!  continued here




Andy Seelman Snow Festival Parade Marshall
By Betty Haig,

Andy Seelman, a longtime snowmobile enthusiast, was nominated by Jon Walston, and also by the entire Lost Trail Snowmobile Club to lead the Snow Festival Parade during the third annual snowmobile parade in 2009. Seelman did some remembering back to the old days when there were no trails and people just ran their sled rampant everywhere.  Ron Cyr an initiator of the first Snow Festivals in Boonville, and Andy discussed the need for some sort of making order out of the chaos that accompanied all the sleds that were inundating Boonville during the Festival.  continued here
