World Sled HQ Holds
Open House Jan 20th
Need something to do during the breaks at the annual Eagle River (WI) World's Championship Derby Weekend? Well, just trudge a few hundred yards north of the Derby track and visit the brand new World Snowmobile Headquarters, home to displays of antique snowmobiles, historic racing sleds, photo displays of the "who's who" of snowmobiling and even a unique snowmobile-oriented gift shop.
The "official" grand opening will be held the evening of January 20th with a "by invitation only" private party. But if you are in the Eagle River area and stop by the World HQ, you are apt to find a warming cup of coffee and friendly faces ready to chat snowmobiles as they prepare the facility for the grand opening.
Stop in and say "Hi!" While there sneak a peek at some unique display sleds like a 1960s vintage Montgomery-Ward snowmobile (manufactured by Polaris for the catalog company). That's just one of the stars of the show sitting in the museum area. There's much more to enjoy.Says Tom Anderson, one of the key movers behind the World Snowmobile HQ, "The displays of sleds will be constantly evolving as we continue work on making this facility THE showcase of snowmobile history." He noted that he and his group have gotten incredibly wonderful support and assistance from snowmobilers all across the snowbelt.
