Lions Snowmobile-A-Thon Raises Funds For The Pas Lions
The Pas Lions Club held a Snowmobile-A-Thon from The Pas to Cranberry Portage on March 2. Four women and twenty men, sponsored to over $3,000, completed 21 of 90 miles while three finished partially. Frost bite cases occurred amid a blizzard that left markings incomplete. George Skelly spent 20 minutes off course before resuming. A mid-route coffee stop aided riders, then participants joined Cranberry Portage Winter Carnival where some faced Keystone Cops fines. Wes Mercer, about 12, rode the full 90 miles behind Neil Ducharme, winning a helmet. Norma Hayes and Ed Patinaude led donations.
