Patten ATV Club would like to thank you for your membership! Can you believe it’s that time of year again? Neither can we! We want to thank each and every one of you for another successful year. Because of you, we reached over 500 Club Memberships again!

 

With riding season right around the corner we wanted to take a moment and share some highlights from last season. Pre-season started off right with our annual Community Clean Up Day! Our goal of giving back to our community and cleaning up our roadways was a great success. Thank you to all who volunteered.

 

We would like to also thank the volunteers who assisted with the trail maintenance to get them ready for opening day and throughout the season. It's a lot of work getting them cut out and ready to be good to go.

 

Projects for the season were plentiful. We teamed up with Rockabeama Snow Rangers on a few trails. This is great for both clubs where its shared expenses and multi-use trails. A lot of work went into both projects. You can see that and more on our Facebook page or website online. We like to keep a photo/video log of our projects.

 

We’ve done a little of everything this season! From building bridges, putting in culverts, rebuilding & resurfacing, maintaining, bush hogging with both tractors and an excavator, down trees, putting in signage, grading, and all the extra miles in between. I’d say we had a pretty productive season.

 

We would like to thank again our volunteers. A few hours with an extra set of hands really can make a difference. We owe a great thanks to our landowners, because without their permission to utilize their land we wouldn’t be able to do what we do! So if you’re also one of our landowners, Thank you!

 

Our annual Dustins Poker run was a great success with 5 Gold star families that attended to say their loved ones name. What a humbling moment for Patten ATV to share with these families, we are blessed to host them all for this great event. Remember, Honor. Teach. Proceeds this year went to both Wreaths Across America Patten & Mount Chase cemeteries as well as the new Town of Patten’s Veterans Memorial Wall.

 

Be sure to stay tuned to what’s happening at Patten ATV on our website or check us out on Facebook. If you want to join us online you can do so right on our website. 

 

A special thank you goes out to Stephanie Miller of PRO-FOUND for building us our website and keeping up with all of our information. She’s a rockstar at what she does and Patten ATV wouldn’t have the outreach that we have without her vast knowledge of digital marketing and media. Team work certainly does make the dream work.

 

That's a wrap of last seasons shenanigans. Thanks again for all of your support! You aren’t just supporting Patten ATV, but also our community. Here’s to Season 2025!

 

Happy Trails,

Laura Mae Brackett

Patten ATV Club Secretary
