Albert Lea vintage snowmobile show to support troops
A vintage snowmobile show in Albert Lea on Saturday will raise money to send care packages to Minnesota soldiers.
The Vintage Pride snowmobile show, drag race and swap meet runs from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Freeborn County Fairgrounds. It's the brainchild of the Sheer Determination snowmobile racing group.
Organizer Kevin Weitzel says they're holding it partly to revitalize snowmobile swap meets and drag races. But they also want to focus on giving back to the troops.
Admission will be $5 per person, with members of the military getting in free. The swap meet will be $20 per site, and the drag racing will be $10 per sled. Trophies will be awarded for both the show and the racing. There will also be a silent auction and raffle.
