For those who have never joined the LBMAO on
this fun social outing, why not? You have missed a fun
time. This group takes time to enjoy nature and the
outdoors but also, we learn about things that retailers
and suppliers are doing successfully in other areas of
the province. The amount of networking that is done
during lunch, at the cabin stop or after we are done for
the day at supper is incredible.
If you have never snowmobiled before, we can get
you started so you can enjoy this great event next year.
You can rent machines and we can help get you going.
The LBMAO has been working to make this a more
family focused event. Next year bring your spouse, or
your kids and they will have a fun day. We have our
weather order in already for next year. See you then!
