Co-Founder of Polaris David and Eleanor Johnson, 2005 "Summer Meeting" Hibbing, MN

2008 ASCOA SUMMER MEETING July 25, 26, 27
My name is Randy Brockman. For those who do not know me, I chaired the summer meet in 1999 at the Little Log House Antique Power Show.
Again, for 2008, we will be back at this show near Hastings, MN (approximately 30 miles south of St. Paul). This year, with the help for my local snowmobile club, The Hastings Sno-Mos, our event is starting to come together. This year we will be staying at the Treasure Island Casino near Red Wing, MN, which is about an easy 12-mile rural drive to the show. The decision to stay there offered us more things to do and includes a campground for those who would like to use their camper.
Room Rates are $109 per night for the hotel. Camping is $20 per night for 30 amp service (more for 50 amp). To make your reservations, contact the Treasure Island Resort and mention the Antique Snowmobile Club. (800) 222-7077. Reservations can be made anytime now.
Friday night cracker barrel will be at Treasure Island. We have reserved an outdoor pavillion, which is next to the campground, so we can bring our own refreshments. Saturday night banquet and meal will be at the show. Don't forget your auction donations featuring a real auctioneer.
For those of you who have been there (you will like this): Since this show covers a big area, we are working on getting us some golf carts to use. Maybe we can sign them out in 1-hour segments.
