On Saturday, Jan, 21, snowmobilers taking part in the Lion’s Journey for Sight stopped in Neepawa for some lunch.

Commenting on this year’s event, rider Randy Ewakiw said, “The warmer temperatures made the trail sticky and in some cases, very slushy. We experienced zero visibility due to fog between Dauphin and Neepawa. Our heated visors were impractical in these conditions, so with visors up there will be a lot of sore eyes, when we conclude the event in Brandon.”

Ewankiw expressed appreciation to those dealerships along the route who provided excellent support with machine breakdowns. Lunch was available at Neepawa’s Dairy Queen, the cost being equally shared between Dairy Queen and the Neepawa Lions Club.
