LINTLAW - There were 148 sleds attracted to the Lintlaw 75 Snowmobile derby held on March 5.
Riders had the opportunity to select from two trials that took riders through Big Valley Lake to Cougar Canyon in the Porcupine Forest, said Bailey Murray, one of the organizers. Trails chosen by riders were 75 miles and a shorter 55-mile route. Riders met back at the Lintlaw Hall for supper. The supper was a chili meal, all donated by the community members and the public was invited to join in the supper. There were 35 persons that attended the supper over and above the riders.
The top three winning hands were as follows.
Greg Nelson of Tisdale won the first prize of $1,000. Preston Dyck of Humboldt won second prize of $500 and Cody Pearson of Nut Mountain $250 for third.
Dale Peacock of Saskatoon won first prize for most money raised in hand.
Hanna Mottram of Kelvington won the second prize for most money raised and Alvena Oryszczyn of Lintlaw won the third prize.
Donna Ziola was the oldest female rider and Robert Wilson was the oldest male rider. Jim Holowachuk of Lloydminster was the farthest away rider to participate.
Rhonda Murrison won the liquor basket.
