ASCOA SUMMER MEETING 2019

July 12-14, 2019 in Hopedale, Illinois

Picture
Check out the mix of old snowmobiles shown here...
A two story museum and ready for your review.   Think you can name every brand???
Come see a brand new snowmobile museum!  Long-time member Huck Willis invites you. 
He and his family have delivered three floors of interesting snow machines! Some 150 - 200 sleds. 

The basement level will be interesting.  The Willis family have gathered up many species of local trees that are shown on the basement walls.   Much of the wood is from their lots.  (I hope they don't tack any memorabilia to these walls.)  

In addition, that weekend, an adjacent street will be blocked off for ASCOA member sled display.   On Saturday, we will assemble the 1963 Ski Doo.  There is a local-fare lunch on Saturday.
