Tri-County's GYM CANA Family Days - Hay Lakes - February 21, 2010
If you missed the Gym Cana this year, you missed a great time.
Weather sunny +2 degrees, 12 inches of snow in the stubble fields, huge parking
lot and lots of riders
We had free burgers and pop around the fire for a great social time.
Everyone was comparing event times and things they did right and also did
wrong...
Kids all got medallions for their events.
Lots of families went on a tour around the fields and trough the big snow drifts
along the trees and fence lines.
The weather was perfect and most stayed after the event for a big social to
about 4:30pm
Hope to see you and your family/friends out next year for another great time.
If you have some pictures from the GYM Cana please email them to Brian at
brianbeebe@shaw.ca and I will include
them here.

Leduc's Santa's Parade - Nov 27, 2009
There is only one problem with having a Night Time Santa's
Parade -- all the pictures are dark...
Anyway we entered the BR180 Groomer, Drag and the enclosed trailer as floats
again this year.
It was a great turnout with lots of floats and the main streets of Leduc were
packed with people watching the parade.
Another great community event that Tri-County sponsors/supplies with road
marshals
Thanks goes out to Leduc
Key-Ag and Cars RV

Alberta Snowmobile Association (ASA) Show - Oct 23-25, 2009
Click here to visit the
Alberta Snowmobile Associations
website
We had great time at the ASA Show. With 2 - 50' booths
we brought in our equipment for a fantastic showing of trail maintenance
equipment. The main booth had our BR180 groomer & drag, Quad pulling the
equipment tub trailer from Marathon
Decks load with all the trail equipment. We even set up mannequins
dress for trail maintenance. The registration tables are a great place to
hang out when at the show and meet people.
The second 50 booth that the enclosed equipment trailer with the Skandic & 8'
Mogul Master Drag and another quad pulling the other tub trailer that is used
for signs, posts, cut trees, etc. as it has a box liner, tipping and end dump.
But we could not do any of this without our
Corporate Sponsors - We thank
you very much for your help and assistance.
Marathon Equipment Tub Trailers - Oct, 2009
Marathon Decks
sponsored us with these 2- 6' tub trailers in August 2009.
Fantastic trailers, 6' x 4' with tandem axles and can carry 1000lbs.
They even have lids to keep the snow and rain off the tools and equipment
Very easy to pull with the quads and can go almost anywhere.
Marathon custom welded racks for all the power tools on top of the lids for
security and easy access on the trails.
TCSC built the storage trays and box liner to help keep everything organized and
protect the trailers
Best trailers on the trail system for trail maintenance - we can now carry
everything in the trailers not on the quads anymore.
Rebuilding the sign boards on the Mogul Master Drag - July, 2009
Pictures coming soon
