NHSA Announcements and Reminders February 2018

February 14, 2018 by Dan Gould

Powder Mill snowmobile Club groomer.

Annual Awards

Every club has at least one person who makes it all happen. Some are blessed with 2 or 3.   Their tireless efforts are typically unrecognized by the general snowmobile populace… but you know who they are. Honor those individuals by nominating them for an annual award. The categories are: Snowmobiler of the Year, Junior Snowmobiler of the Year, Snowmobile Family of the Year, Snowmobile Business of the Year, Snowmobile Club of the Year, Groomer of the Year, and the Catherine Dickson Lifetime Achievement Award. Submit applications by April 1.

Ray Burton Trail Project Award

In tribute to Ray Burton and his contributions to snowmobiling, the NHSA has created a $1,000 award for a snowmobile trail project. Submit applications by April 1.

Scholarship Applications Now Online

The NHSA will award up to three book scholarships ($1,000, $500 and $250) to graduating high school seniors who have been accepted at a college, junior college, or vocational school. It’s also available to enrolled college students. Submit applications by March 1.

Tweeting, Instagram and Facebook

Chances are you already follow us on Facebook but did you hear about our new Twitter and Instagram offerings? They need a chance to grow, but open up another line for kibitzing and photo sharing with fellow snowmobilers.
