Seeley Lake Driftriders’ Fun Run postponed until Feb. 14

SEELEY LAKE – Due to COVID, the Seeley Lake Driftriders snowmobile club will not be holding their annual Snowball Banquet this year. After careful consideration of the lack of snow and staffing needs, the Seeley Lake Driftriders decided to postpone their annual Fun Run from Jan. 17 to Feb. 14, Presidents’ Day weekend.

This year’s “Sweethearts Fun Run” will include adult classes and a new free kids class, vintage run and some of participants’ favorite Snowball activities since COVID has prevented that event from happening. Times, location and rules will be out soon.

For more information visit https://driftriders.org or follow the Club on Facebook for updates.
