Meanwhile, a group of vintage sled heads had a great time up in Menhaga, Minnesota last weekend. Hosted by SledTalk 24/7 moderator and collector Justin Clack, they brought together all the donated parts, pieces, paint, pipes and paraphernalia to build one sharp looking Ski-Doo sled that anyone would be proud to own.
There was around 50 people there to help build this beauty. By all accounts, they had a good time. Lots of free chips and barbeque was had by all, and all contributed to the amazingly fast restoration of this sled.
The sled is being built for one purpose only: It will be auctioned off at Waconia this year with ALL proceeds going to the Make-A-Wish foundation.
I think a lot of us are still thankful to that organization not only for the good work they do, but because they brought Forrest Hess to the vintagesleds.com "Live on Skis" ride last year and he’s been a big part of the vintage community ever since. He even finished his first semester of college – way to go Forrest! Read more in the official thread on SledTalk 24/7.
