Isn't Hay Days the biggest sledding event or one of them that is full of small vendors, big vendors, manufactures, dealers, grass drags, etc.....

2 OFSC permits ordered and  the first seasonal Quebec permit ordered.  The 1 group I ride with are buying seasonals in Quebec. No ofsc permit  for them this year.  They figure they can buy a 3 day later if we do a NL Cochrane Timmons ride.  Right now we are planning a 5 or 6 day ride Quebec with 1 group and just 1 3 day trip makes the seasonal sense.  Obviously we  gotta have our OFSC  permits.  We ride from the garage to the trail on our farm and we are good to go   Even a short trailer ride to D9 and we have a good ride.  We need snow We need snow 

At the end of the day the small guys cannot compete without a dedicated effort from the consumers.   By the way who are the smaller guys?

That's politics behind this show. Big manufactures don't want smaller guys there selling gloves, helmets accessories etc. They want it all.
