If you need another reason to attend the 2010 Winter Rendezvous in Hinckley, come for the silent auction and bid on dozens of items with proceeds benefitting the MnUSA Legal Defense Fund and the newly formed Minnesota Snowmobile Education and Advancement Fund which will be partnering with MnUSA on snowmobile education and trail projects.  There were over 100 items on the auction at the 2009 Rendezvous and items generally go for very good prices. 

The event was set up as a competition between the nine MnUSA regions and the clubs have stepped up with some good prizes.  Anyone wanting to donate an item to be put up for bid can contact their local MnUSA Region Director or the MnUSA office at 866-811-7669 or through the website.
