November 2024 News Letter

Hi Folks,

Here is a little of what is going on with the PathBlazers. There will be some in town trail work this Saturday Nov. 16th. We will meet up behind the Greyhound Museum @ 9:00am and go from there. ATV/UTV use is permitted in these areas during hunting and blaze orange is recommended. Other trail work will continue after deer season as weather and freeze up allows. Contact trail coordinator Joe McKenney at 218-969-9717 for more info.

Our next monthly meeting will be Wednesday, November 20, 2024 at Sammy’s Pizza in Hibbing. The meeting starts at 6:00pm. As always, we ask that you bring some nonperishable food items, which this month goes to The Hibbing Salvation Army. We hope you can join us.

MnUSA Raffle calendars are back and will be available at November’s monthly meeting. They are $20 each and limited in supply. Contact Secretary Dave Houghton at 218-969-0316 if you are interested in getting one (or two). And congratulations to PathBlazers member Hanna Stahl as she was Nov. 4th’s $25 WINNER!

PathBlazers club ride will be on Friday, January 31 – February 2, 2025, and Crane Lake will be this year’s destination. Plans are to leave on Friday from Chisholm and journey to Crane Lake. Saturday is planned to be a tour day, and Sunday will be the return trip home. Not a member? No problem! Everyone is welcome to join us. The recommended places to stay are
