Here's why I deserve a free ticket to the snow show. Almost 20 years ago, a friend of mine asked if I wanted to go north with him to snowmobile and I agreed. That was the year of my first snow show and before I bought my first sled (OK - AFTER putting a tree up the middle of one of his!). Of course, that was when the show was still in Grayslake (Lake Co IL). There is something about the show to really set the mood for the season. Over the years since then, I've only missed a few, bought two more sleds and ridden thousands of miles. Almost two years ago, I lost my job but thought I would get hired back within a couple months. Well, last fall after being off for nearly a whole year, my better-half and I decided we needed to generate some cash so we decided to sell our two sleds and trailer with hopes that we would be back in the sport when times got better. Seeing the sleds and trailer go was very difficult and I felt that a real part of me was being stripped away. I must say I fought off the tears! Well, this last Spring I finally did get hired back and things are looking better. It is my intent to go north this year and rent a sled. However, I need some new gear and I know that the show is a great place to replenish the worn-out stuff. Going to the snow show will be a great day and will make me feel like I am back in the swing of things. Like I said, there's nothing like it! I would really appreciate being selected to win the free ticket. Thanks and THINK SNOW!
