HAYDAYS

Try Forest Lake to see if they have any motels open. Next year it will be even farther from the current lodging, so start looking in Lindstrom, Chisago City, Taylors Falls and St Croix Falls for places to stay NEXT year.

olsmann has the description of heydays down perfectly. People, slow down, if you have never been to it, don't drive 6 hours to go it. It really is not worth wasting gas and lodging money on, seriously. You will be disappointed and mad at yourself for driving that far. But, if walking around and looking at peoples junk that they pulled from their garage or shed, eating hot dogs and burgers from booths set up by local snow mobile clubs and watching a few sleds (and yes there are kiddy snowmobile races too, whoo hoo) is your idea of a great time, by all my means then, spend your hard earned money and come and see it.

if you like snowmobiles there will be sleds.
if you like racing there will be racing.
if you like stunt tricks there will be stunts

This is the BIGGEST event in snowmobile.

some may have A bad taste in ther mouth from the swaps but they are what they are ---SWAPS

If you are looking at trailers there will be trailers-- LOTS OF TRAILERS..

I think you get my point...

This is a great event, not sure what some are looking for but you will find it at HAYDAYS...

I guess you could stay home and-- CUT YOUR YARD.

Come on people I hear alot complaining about haydays--I wounder what would be said if there was no HAYDAYS

Ive been going well over 20 years and its a full day of sled,trucks,trailers,coats,bibs,after market stuff,pro riders,videos,sleds,4wheelers,oh did I say coats already and plenty more STUFF THAN THAT..

It must be the Haydays itch - I've spent at least 12 hours on sled sites each day this week...well maybe 2-3, but it feels like 12!

This is my first time going. I've heard horror stories about the parking. Any of you that have gone several times have some advice on what time we need to get there on Saturday to avoid a long wait, and any other advice to make our first time there less hectic? Thanks in advance for any advice.

<font color="ff0000">We usually get there around 10:30 and park pretty close (1/4 mile or so)going up tommorow night this year to eliminate the 8 hrs travel time in one day. Not really a hectic place just alot of people, be patient and remember there are thousands just like you wanting to look at it all also.</font>

Don't worry about the parking, there is plenty. Yes if you get there at 1:00 and want to park in one of the free lots you probably will be walking about 1/4 mile. But you are going to be walking all day any ways so whats a little more. If your willing to pay $10.00-$20.00 you will be able to park real close in some ones yard (OK you used to be able to do this, but I heard the town ship was putting some new restrictions on the neighbors this year, but I can't believe they will not let people park cars in their yards).

Personally I would try to be there no later than 10:00.

A lot of people pack a cooler and lawn chairs (no you can not bring them into Hay Days). You go into Hay Days in the morning walk around for 3-5 hours go back to your car pull out the lawn chair make a sandwich have a soda, relax, count how much money you have already spent then go back in.

Remember most of Hay Days is put on by volunteers. Yes most of the volunteers belong to a local snowmobile club that gets money form the Barrons but the people themselves are not usally walking away with cash in their pockets. So a couple of thank yous during the day goes a long way!

Have fun see ya there.

Were packed up and ready for the weekend.

The trailer is packed for the swap and everyone is pumped.

Should be a blast as usual.

Have fun everyone.
