Winter Ride-Dave Walker Benefit Update

It was a cold morning about 10 degrees on January 4, 2014, around 7:30am when the atvs started to arrive at Gillentown Trailhead. They came from New York, New Jersey, Deleware and all over Pennsylvania to have some fun, share in the 11th Annual Best Line Powersports - SSRTA Winter Dinner Ride and to help raise money for one of our members, Dave Walker. Many people also drove to the event on their vehicles to support the event and we all appreciated that too.

This event sponsored by Best Line Powersports allows those atvist and utvist to get out of the house, take a ride in the winter and enjoy the beautiful scenery and have a great meal prepared by the SSRTA. 

This year was special as we were all raising money to help Dave Walker. Dave is recovering from cancer and jaw reconstruction. So, the SSRTA & Best Line Powersports wanted to do as much as possible for Dave.

Numerous Corporate Sponsors and individuals donated items for raffles that were displayed at the Moshannon Community Center. Money was raised from the raffles, donations and the meal that will all go to Dave. We want to thank all that supported and participated in the event. Thank you Best Line Powersports for your continued 11th year of support for this event. This year was even more special!!!

CMATVA Elk Ride Update

It was a beautiful morning on Sunday, November 10,2013 when the atvs-utvs started pulling in at Newman's Restaurant in Clarence for breakfast. A great meal was provided by the Newman staff along with the friendly service. After breakfast, everyone traveled to Benezette and met up with Henry Sorgen who led the crew to a nice place to park the vehicles. From there to the Elk center for registration and turn in the toys for children. Some people toured the center, watched a movie and bought a few items while others chatted in the parking areas. 

 

People were divided into different crews and then rode their atvs-utvs to Benezette Restaurant for dinner and then to the winery to purchase items or gifts. The leaders took everyone on a tour looking for Elk traveling roads deep down into the hollows.  One large herd of Elk of about 92 was seen near the Elk center. A great time had by all. A big thank you to CMATVA  President Henry Sorgen & their volunteers to coordinate such a large event so we all could enjoy the day and have a positive economic impact on those businesses.

 

We also want to thank JP & Chris of Best Line Powersports, Kurt & his wife from Carns Equipment and Lee Williamson of Williamson Insurance Agency for participating in the event. It was nice to see their support for a nice gathering of atvist.
