Fundraiser to include Townsend trail ride

Red Arrow Snowmobile ATV Club will host a fundraiser on Saturday, June 14, at Old Town Hall in Townsend. The event will include a trail ride, club meeting and pig roast. Open to the public, the event will start with a short meeting at 2 p.m., followed by an ATV/UTV trail ride on new trails in the Townsend area. Beginning at 3 p.m. there will be meat raffles, music, pig roast, bonfire and refreshments, well into the evening. This is a family friendly event that will be held rain or shine. All proceeds will be used for repairs and a tank upgrade for the water tanker used for ATV/UTV dust control. Red Arrow is responsible for about 65 miles of snowmobile trails and about 15 miles of ATV/UTV trails, including the Nicolet State Recreational Trail through Townsend. In addition, the town of Townsend has nearly 90 miles of mostly gravel town roads available for ATV/UTV use. The Old Town Hall is located on the ATV/UTV trail in Townsend. Access is available from as far as Gillett, Florence and the Michigan border.
