Board Elections

It's been two years folks, and it is time to elect a new board, re-elect the old board, or some combination of the two!  If you're interested in becoming a bigger part of the organization of thing you have something to offer, feel free to email in a self-nomination which will get passed on to existing board members.

Parks Board Boat House Meeting

The "Boat House" project is going to be discussed at the next Parks Board meeting on December 4th.  The meeting is open to the public and we encourage attendance by anyone and everyone - particularly those who are enthusiastic supporters of what we're trying to accomplish.  We will be presenting a 'business plan' for the boat house which will detail our proposed management arrangement and discuss options for cost sharing, revenue streams, etc.

New Talent

We've just recieved word that two Bemidjii area youth, Christian (age 11) and Daven (age 16) have registred in the Zombie Male category for END-TOMBED!  For those of you that don't realize the significance of this action - these youth have committed themselves to riding as many 10+ mile laps around the epic course out at Turtle River State Park as they can in 12 hours!  And not only would that be something to talk about in and of itself, but the HIGH temperature on race day (Oct 27th) isn't expected to reach 35.  Kids are awesome.

Jesse Schurman, a 16 year old from Walhalla, ND, will be one of a group of youth racers heading down to Arvilla (just outside of Grand Forks) next weekend to take on Extreme North Dakota Racing's final event of the year, END-TOMBED.  The event  pits solo riders or relay teams against a 10 mile looped mountain bike course that weaves its way through Turtle River State Park.
