Hi Everyone,

Our next Club meeting is this Saturday at 9 am, Ironton Legion, 232 4^th Street. This is our last Club meeting for the season. We will take a break for the holidays and get back together next year. We are riding Spider Lake up to Hackensack and will stop for lunch there. Bring some snacks and beverages for the ride. It is a really nice forest ride with the fall color changes.

We had our annual Club picnic at the Cole Lake shelter last month, there was a good turnout. Last month, several of our Club members attended ATV Minnesota’s Fall Ride and Rally in Fifty Lakes. Over 500 people attended. Our Club guided one of the rides and we had booth. Thanks to all the ladies for taking care of that. The trails were great and it was a fun weekend. There are a lot of pictures posted on our Club Facebook page.

Please welcome our new Club members Stacy & Greg Barrett and the Deerwood Legion.

Thank you, everyone, for joining our Club, helping with trail work and clean up, ATV Safety Training, attending Trail Meetings, participating with the Because of Brandon Juvenile Diabetes Charity Ride and staying with us. Our Club has had a lot of fun together and it has been a good riding season.

Suicide Awareness/Riding with Rory

We held our 4th Annual Because of Brandon Juvenile Diabetes Ride on July 23rd. There were 42 machines and around 80 people who came out to support the cause. We raised $3,021 dollars. It was a great turnout. A big shout out to the all the club members, you helped make it a big success.

Russ our grant manager has resigned his position. We appreciate all the years and time he dedicated to our club. He will still stay active with the club and work with a new person to fill that role. Our club maintains the Miller Black Bear and the Mississippi River Northwoods trails. Having a person for each trail area would be helpful.

Our Club had a booth at the Crow Wing County Fair this past week with the Central Lakes ATV Club. We handed out a lot of trail atlases, club information and signed up some new members. Thank you to all the volunteers.

Hi Everyone,

Our club is hosting an ATV Charity Ride for Juvenile Diabetes “Because of Brandon” on July 23rd at 9 am, behind the FireShack Restaurant, 101 4th Street Ironton.  I need volunteers to help with the event.  We will start setting up at 7 am.  I need help setting up our pop ups, hanging banners, sign posts, directing people to park and unload at the high school and where they need to line up.

Commissioner Doug Houge will speak to the group about 9:45 am.  The guided rides will leave by 10 am, to the Miller Black Bear Trail area.  The Deerwood Police and the Fire Departments will be there to help with the public safety, and they will guide people down County Road 30 and 34 to Iverson Road.

I would like your help taking people for a guided ride around the Miller Black Trail area.  We will break the riders into smaller groups for the ride and bring them back around 1 pm for a lunch special at the FireShack.  After lunch we will add up the donations and hand the money to Doug and take pictures.

McDaddy’s Donut Garage is offering free donuts in the morning.  I will have a donation bucket at both businesses.  On line donations can be made at http://brandon2022.givesmart.com please save the date and let’s raise some money for Juvenile Diabetes Education.  I will send everyone a reminder next week.  If you can volunteer, please email me back.

Thank you,
Ken Irish
