Celebrating our 46th Snowmobiling Season!

Presidents Message—Ozzie Ausloos
End of season report
Where did the time go? It seemed like
the season just started and now it’s over.
As you know we had a late start and as of
yesterday the trails were closed. Because
of the short season we had some organized rides that got either changed or canceled. Quite a disappointing season for us
riders but especially disappointing for our
merchants. Keep our map advertisers in
mind when you are out and about this
summer.
Our winter fundraisers were very successful, the Groomer Show and Radar Run
did well thanks to Steve Soltwedel and his
gang of volunteers. Working the food tent
is not easy, quite hectic at times during
the peak hours, but can also be a lot of
fun. With this in mind we have two fundraisers coming up this summer where we
need help. The Classic Sled Roundup on
May 29th is one of these events where we
have the food service area. We are looking for an event chairperson, and food
service help in the afternoon. This would
be a great opportunity to help the club
and enjoy some beautiful vintage snowmobiles, some I remember buying new.
The other exciting event is the 5K Bacon
Dash Run, we will be sharing the profits
with the Chamber. What we are looking
for is help in registration and some miscellaneous help along the course. If you
would like to volunteer at any of these
events send me an email or give me a
call.
Look for information regarding the Drive
with the Groomer Drivers Golf Outing in
this newsletter and keep in mind we also
have the Sportsmen’s Pig Roast the last
weekend of August. Please plan on attending both of these valuable fundraisers.
Thank you for a great year,

Trail Assistance Report—Radar Run
On behalf of Don Baumann and myself we would like to thank the following
volunteers for their help at the Radar Run this past February. As you may recall
these two days could not have been further apart weather wise. Friday was brutal with high winds and cold temps. Saturday was very cold but the wind was
calm and the sun shined bright, making for a great day to be out on the ice
helping park cars and trucks. We had several new volunteers this year which
really helped. Thank you to the following people:
Peggy Ausloos
Roger Behm
Ken Beno
Dave Brown
Tony Cantelle
Steve Cavite
Jim Dubore
Ed Ewen
Jim Grace
Roger Klein

Thanks again for your help.

Apple Dumpling Gang
The Apple Dumpling Gang went on a 3 day trip to the U.P. February 1012. We had 17 riders that left from St. Germain. We stayed at the Ramada
Inn in Hancock, Michigan. We had a great ride and a lot of fun. Mike McCormick lead us on the ride and did a great job. The Dumplings that did not go
on the trip rode up to Bent's Camp on February 10th. They had 16 riders
including several riders from Iowa. They also had a great ride.
We had our Year End Lunch on March 6, at Fibbers. We had 47 people
attend. We enjoyed a great meal and a good time.
We had a short season with only 5 rides, but it still was an enjoyable
time.

Trail Boss—Jim Wendt
The end has come. This has been one of the craziest
seasons in a long time. Short of our disappointment with
a very short riding season, I hope our local businesses can
have a strong spring and summer season to make up for
the lousy winter. I do want to thank my driver staff for
another great effort at providing the best trails in the
state! The dedication of these men is really amazing. I
want all to know how much I appreciate them for their
support. As I stated 2 letters ago, we owe so much for
the support of our suppliers and contractors for donations of time and materials to keep us running on the
trails. We are truly blessed to have their support and I
personally thank each and every one of them!
We will be upgrading more equipment this off season
and doing more work on the groomer barn. I hope we
can keep our landowners on board to avoid any re-routes
next season. I hope I can count on Steve Soltwedel and
Ozzie Ausloos for their sign work next season.....they
really do a great job and I thank them for it! I also want
to thank Al Clemmensen for being my right hand man
every time I needed a hand at the barn! Finally, I want
to thank "the real trail boss", my wife Jennifer for her
support of my efforts towards making our club the best it
can be.
God willing, I hope to have all Bo-Boen’s back next season for the best riding found anywhere in our great
state! Have a great off season with family and friends.
Get your foursome together for our 3rd Annual Drive
with the Groomer Drivers Golf Outing August 28th. This
has become a phenomenal fundraiser for our club. See
you on the green!
Jim
Classic Sled Round Up
The Snowmobile Hall of Fame is a fun event every year at
the St. Germain Community Park. The date is Sunday, May 29,
2016, of Memorial Day weekend. The Bo-Boen’s will again be
running the food tent. We are looking for volunteers to help.
This being on a weekend is a great time for the out of towners to help out and a real opportunity to meet other members. If you can help serve food, be a cashier, grill some brats
and burgers give me a call.
The hours of the event are 7:00 am for registration and the
awards are at 3:00 pm so we will work 2 shifts so as not to use
up your whole day. Check out their website for more details.
I would also like to find a chairman or co-chairs to oversee
this, Steve Soltwedel our food service guru will have all of the
food ordered and a set of instructions will be given to the
chair people so please give me a call or send me an email to
volunteer. This is a good fundraiser for us plus the Hall of
Fame really appreciates our help.
Thanks,
Ozzie Ausloos

I know that many of you have been anxiously awaiting news that we topped the 1,000 mark in total memberships. Well, I
hate to be the bearer of bad news; but, you will have to wait until next year to hear that we hit that magical number from
Jeff & Beth Urbans. Our final tally for this year is 993. We missed it by 7 memberships. So, we have a wonderful goal already in place for the 2016-17 snowmobile season: “1,000 memberships, here we come!” Listed below is the breakdown for
this year.

included with the applications.) Please make Jeff & Beth’s job easier by waiting for your application form.
CLUB NIGHT LIGHTS
The Bo-Boen Club

neat little promotion together. The
profit from the sales netted our club
$480.00.
BATEMAN PRINT RAFFLE
The winner of the Robert Bateman Print
donated by Don & Marie Baumann was Jim
McGregor of St. Germain.
Secretary’s Report
Well, another season (albeit short) has come and gone. Time again to say
those public “thank yous”.
1. Members A big thank you to all 993 members that made YOUR club once
again the largest in Wisconsin. Your dues and generosity keep the Bo-Boen trails
the best in the state.
2. Volunteers Without this great group of people, the club would not be
what it is today. Their efforts and hard work at the various fund raising events
keep the club strong.
3. Map Advertisers & Landowners Thanks to this group of people the club is
able to maintain an extensive network of trails. They also allow the club to
keep those trails well groomed for everyone to enjoy. Please remember to support the businesses that support the club whether you are a resident or a visitor
to the St. Germain area.
If I missed anybody, I apologize. Please remember to attend one of the club’s
summer fundraisers—May 29th, Snowmobile Hall of Fame Classic Sled Round-up,
August 5th, 5K Bacon Dash, August 28th, 20th Annual Pig Roast at Sportsmen’s
Chalet and August 29th, 3rd Annual Drive with the Groomer Drivers Golf Outing
at Trout Lake Golf Course. Have a great summer!

at the Pig in the Pines Bacon Bash. Greeting runners playing
at the finish line will be Road Trip, a band from the Oshkosh
area known to capture their audiences and show them how to
relax and have a wonderful time. Bacon Dash participants will
receive a commemorative t-shirt and free admission into the
Friday Night Bacon Bash live concert. Proceeds from the Bacon Dash will support the St. Germain Beautification Fund and
the Bo-Boen Snowmobile Club.
WHEN: FRIDAY, AUGUST 5, 6 PM RACE START
WHERE: ST. GERMAIN COMMUNITY PARK
545 HWY 155
ST. GEMAIN
Since this is a combined event with the Chamber, we will be
looking for help from club members before and during the race.
Volunteer help I envisions is as follows:
- Wednesday, August 3rd or Thursday, August 4th – have
someone mow down the grass on the trail (is there anyone
with a commercial lawn mower in the club)? I’m not sure what
the trail looks like in the summer but I’ll buzz out there in July
and see how it looks and communicate to the club
- 2 people to help with Registration onsite at Pig in the Pines
(3-6pm)
- a few people to help with getting course signage out and water stations set up (this will happen around 4pm and take about
an hour at the most)
- 5:45 – 6:30 – we will need 4 total people redirecting traffic (2
by the Cemetery Road and 2 down towards Eagle Watch) – we
hope to have a fire truck on each side as well and plan to reroute traffic down Sunrise Lane
- 5:45 – 7:00 – 5+ people at various spots on the course for
directions, there will also be one water station
- With this all being said – if we had 10+ people available from
3 - 7:30 we should have our bases covered.
