Interesting article in CBC news today:

 

"Some 40 years after it was recorded in a local basement, "Little Skidoo" is still part of Christmas in Sudbury.

Local provincial government worker Bert Collins wrote the tune about a snowmobile that saves Christmas and then spent 20 years playing it to anyone who will listen."

Here's a version on youtube - well worth a listen - will cheer up even the most depressed person-

Myself, I'll be celebrating another proud moment of Sudbury snowmobiling history - the first snowmachine I owned, bought third or fourth hand from a neighbour - ran for a couple of months then parts dried up!

 

"Sixty years ago in the winter of 1957, Howard Schraeder produced his first Snowbug. This was fully a year before Armand Bombardier made his first Ski-Doo and seven years before the first Polaris Sno Traveler was built in Minnesota in 1954."

And tired of having my skidoo misidentified as being revrnd's or one of the Ireverents, paid homage to a proud tradition with this addition this year:
