Club Article: Festival Postponed
The Nipawin snowmobile club, Twin Lakes Trail Blazers made the difficult decision to postpone the Provincial Saskatchewan Snowmobile Festival until 2023 due to the current Covid 19 environment.
Although this year we had put a cap on registrations at 250 to try and keep everyone as safe as possible, the event has the potential to bring over 300 sledders to Nipawin. The economic benefit to our region, through accommodation, gas and food is substantial.
The decision to postpone was difficult as we have great snow conditions this year, an enthusiastic committee who was working extremely hard to showcase our beautiful area and provide some great Nipawin hospitality. However, with the current pandemic situation the decision to postpone was the correct decision.
The Twin Lake Trail Blazers had committed substantial resource time and financial expenditures preparing to host in 2022. Thank you to the SSA Board of Directors for the approval of a postponement to 2023 rather than a full cancellation. The Trail Blazers would also like to thank the North Battleford Trail Breakers who were scheduled to host in 2023 for accommodating this postponement.
We now look forward for the ability to host a large, fun packed weekend in 2023! Watch for details coming this fall!
