Hitching Post was proud to be a sponsor of the 2010 Special Olympics Northland 300 charity snowmobile ride this past weekend in Two Harbors. The three day ride covers over 300 miles of trails from Two Harbors to Ely and back to Two Harbors.
135 riders turned out for the annual ride and were able to raise over $190,000 for the Special Olympics of Minnesota by selling raffle tickets to win a 2010 Yamaha Grizzly 700 ATV donated by Hitching Post. Over 22 years, the Northland 300 has raised over 3 million dollars that directly benefit the Special Olympics of Minnesota. Impressive to say the least!
Participants battled poor trail conditions and a weekend of crazy weather filled with rain, sleet, ice, snow, and everything in between. Despite all of this, everyone on the trip found a way to have a good time at the event and returned home with memories that will last a lifetime.
At the closing dinner and banquet Dan Weber from Andover, MN was the big winner of the evening taking home the grand prize - a 2010 Yamaha Grizzly 700 ATV.
A special thanks goes out to Kathy, Janel, Mike, and everyone else from Northland 300 for all their hospitality at the event!
