Thursday, February 18, 2010 Irasburg Village School's Winter Carnival 2010

North Country Mountaineers for the past several years has joined the
community of Irasburg, in having our club's groomer present at the
school's Winter Carnival for all the Kids, Teachers & Parents to
enjoy. | Thursday, February 18, 2010 Irasburg Village School's Winter Carnival 2010

The club grooms to the school the day of the event, and the operator
gives rides to all that are interested (And There Are Many Interested). |

While grooming around the school, the operator explains how the groomer
works and how we take care of smoothing all those trails. | 
The
trail groomer is the biggest attraction the Winter Carnival has, and
the lines of kids and parents waiting to ride in the machine is just
AWESOME !!!!!! |
