The Washburn ATV Club held its first meeting of the year on April 6 at the Trailrunners Snowmobile Club.  

Prior to the meeting, the highlight of the evening was the delivery of the club’s new tractor. After receiving instructions on the tractor, members enjoyed pizza and soda supplied by Gary’s.  

The club hopes to open the trails on May 27.  The next meeting will be on Thursday, May 4, at the clubhouse on Gould Street. At that meeting, members will decide on a trail cleanup date.

Any and all volunteers will be appreciated. The club hopes to see old and new members attend, and can be contacted on Facebook.
