Alaska SnowRider Magazine shared Big Lake Trails, Inc.'s post.
Gave testimony last night to the Planning Commission in favor of the Herning Trail Master Plan. The Herning Trail is a historically significant trail to the communities of Knik, Big Lake, Houston, Willow and further north. Once completed, this portion of the trail will connect Knik, Big Lake and Houston once again and will help to inform users of our rich history and pioneer spirit. The Planning Commision unanimously passed this on to the Assembly.

The Alaska Vintage Snowmobile Show had a great turnout both in spectators and show sleds. Here are the results from the July 29 event.
The July 29th, 2017 Alaska Vintage Snowmobile Show held at the Alaska Museum of Transportation and History in Wasilla Alaska was a huge success. There were 58 signed in for the show and many many more there just for display. Somewhere around noon the count was 84 sleds not including the other miscellaneous snow vehicles, and sleds and people kept coming throughout the day. The competition was tough for the show entrants with all the beautiful sleds and in the end, Fairbanks's Alan Oderik (VSCA #7811) took home Best of Show and People’s Choice.
Many thanks to those that helped throughout the day and especially at the end of the day with the load outs. A special thanks to Sherry Jackson and the Museum staff for all the support and use of the park, Mat-Su Vintage Racers for a great display, Bear Naked BBQ for some excellent BBQ, the Fairbanks guys for the long travel to attend and everyone that came out to look and share their stories or interest.
