For those without FB

 

This is not a happy "share", and it has been an equally unhappy week. This something that the Owen Sound Eastside Snowmobile Club volunteers have put so much time, effort and love into year after year, in addition to their regular trail building activies - and mainly for the enjoyment of others. On behalf of OFSC District 9 and every rider that taken shelter here, planned their rides around stopping here, or shared a good time with family and friends inside these walls....please know that we are all standing with you and appreciate everything single thing you do for snowmobiling in the area

 

 

It is with great sadness that the Owen Sound Eastside snowmobile clubhouse burned to the ground early on Monday. Fire investigators are investigating the fire and will report back to the club once samples are tested. It has been a difficult year for the clubhouse. First it’s solar system was stolen and then this. The club appreciates all the support that it has received from local businesses, landowners and sledders over the past 50 years. The club will meet in the spring to decide the future of this site.

Just Shitty.  Was a great clubhouse in a  great location for a stop without going in to Owen Sound.

Just lousy to go with a lousy winter in D9 and the rest of the south.

 

We always stopped on way back from the East going back to home base in Wiarton.

I hope there is a fund raiser for a rebuild, we will be in!
