Lions Plan Snow-Go Pledge Drive Fundraiser
At a Hamiota Lions Club meeting a Snow-Go power toboggan marathon was proposed to raise funds for the Community Betterment Fund. The route spans eighty three miles from Hamiota north to Shoal Lake west to Birtle south to Miniota and east back to Hamiota. Sixteen toboggans will be used by Lions volunteers with Leo the mystery Lion attempting a bath tub run. Local residents will be asked for pledges and a Snow-Go Bonus Coupon offers a fifty cent donation to guess Leo’s distance to the nearest tenth of a mile with a twenty five dollar prize for the closest estimate. Proceeds benefit the Lions Club Community Betterment Fund.
