KSBCSR 10th Anniversary = WOW



There are some events you just don't know what you are getting into until you are there in the middle of the throng.... that;s what happened to me over 7yrs ago. Meeting Kelly Shires, Suzy Stenoff, Kim Sparks, Ken Shires... and then countless other volunteers and participants... Over the last 7yrs over 1200 Participants to be exact.. and every year they remember each other, they catch up , they snowmobile together, have a few drinks and share many many laughs.. Some faces are missing now.. but their spirits are always with us.

This past Week end the snow run returned to Deerhurst Resort . This resort is probably my favorite for the Snow Run (and any overnites!) the staging area is really open and you get a chance to see everyone and all the sleds lined up and ready to go... quite an awesome spectacle!

The moment of silence... you really don't know the power that is there.. as Beverly Thomspon , Co-host of Canada AM, EmCEE for saturday night banquet said : "you could have heard a pin drop" a breast Cancer Survivor herself, was deeply moved. It is truly amazing that these women/ participants all raise monies for other women who need assistance in their battles with Breast Cancer.
The ride , WOW this club really has some fantastic trails! THanks to Jimmy Hatz for some good grub! If you are worried about not finding a group to ride with... no worries there! the Run has everything from the Hooters... - turtles and yes.. everything in between...



Saturday night is a great social .. you are able to talk about the day's ride, events.. bloopers.. ahum yes SLED ED worthy moments.. we had looooots of these! The Snow Run has to be one of the greatest organized events going it even has live auction, silent auction awards and prizes..... O speaking of live auction.. this year FXR donated coats to the OPP to wear for the day.. ya i'm just going to stop here and post my video.. sorry if it's short and shaky.. i had to run up and throw a few dollars at them.. ;)
