2012 Fish A Ree & Vintage Snowmobile Show

February 11-12, 2012
Townsend Town Hall
It was a cold windy weekend in Townsend but a big crowd turned out both days for the 37th Annual Fish A Ree held at the Townsend Town Hall. Those who came were treated to meat raffles, vintage snowmobiles and great music as well as food and drinks. Thanks to all the local businesses who supplied prizes, sold raffle tickets or came to the event. Thanks also to the club members who worked all weekend and to the hundreds of visitors and area residents who attended. All proceeds from the event will go back into our trail program.
