Pancake Breakfast 2007
It may have been a little chilly outside but the pancakes and sausages were nice and warm inside.
Bill, Ross and myself were your servers and I think we made for a good team, we didn't drop anything and we
didn't have to throw anything at each other. Ok that might have been fun but I'd rather eat it than throw it.
We had about 65 people including some of our cross country ski friends.
Thanks for stopping by. A few photos of the event can be found in our Photo Album.
Cheers,
Kevin Malley

Poker Run 2007
The snow held, the weather was great and we couldn't have asked for better poker
hands. 41 hands were dealt and I lost track of how many people managed to get
pull 3 of a kind. Our winning hand was three 9's by Ivan Patton. Congradulations Ivan.

OFSC Trails Update
--Posted Nov 1, 2006--
The OFSC has been working closely behind the scenes with our partners,
the Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) regarding the possibility of
trail closures in some districts. We are now pleased to report that:
1. To the best of our knowledge, the possibility of limited trail
closures are only reported to date in Districts 1, 4, 5 and 9. No other
OFSC districts appear to be impacted at this time.
2. Last week, after meeting with the OFSC, the Ontario Federation of
Agriculture (OFA) made a clear and unequivocal decision NOT to support
trail closures and to request that their members allow access for OFSC
snowmobile trails this winter.
3. As a result, with the possible exception of a few isolated local
pockets in the aforementioned districts, the vast majority of farmers
will continue to allow OFSC trails across their land this winter. Even
in the very limited areas that may be affected, clubs are developing
trail re-routes wherever possible, so riders will still be able to
snowmobile this winter.
Canteen Open at the Forest Center
Over the summer the Ganaraska Snowmobile club and the Ganaraska Forest Center came to new agreement to keep the Canteen open when snow permits on weekends only. In other words if the trails are open on a Saturday or Sunday the Canteen will be open. We are also very happy to report that Ross Winters will return for a 3rd year with is fantastic cooking.
