Where can you find vintage snowmobile enthusiasts in summer? Fiddle Park, of courseThe Ontario Vintage Snowmobile Club held its first event in Shelburne's Fiddle Park Saturday July 13. For a newly formed club, this event featured over 70 Snowmobiles and over 200 onlookers were in attendance before noon proving the gathering to be a huge success. Richard Beilhartz of Fergus, Scott Wood of Burford, and local resident of Shelburne, Shane Hall are the Co-Founders of the Ontario Vintage Snowmobile Club and organizers of this venue which has been over a year in the making. “Shane is a local guy and he laid the ground work over the last year. It's our plan to have visibility in Ontario because there really isn't a lot out there in the way of shows. We hope to have a show in the fall and one in Stratford. We are going to be featured in the publication, Central Ontario Snowmobile Magazine. Shelburne is beautiful, central, and an ideal location to host our event,” said Beilhartz. “We have people coming from all over Ontario such as Halliburton, Windsor, Tiverton, and North Bay.” And what does he think about fellow co-founders who originally met during other event, “I've never met two people with greater character.” True to that assessment this trio can boast a fantastic turnout having offered free grab bags, door prizes, free admission and were hosts to many unique and historical snowmobiles from many different genres and decades. A proud, Shane Hall commented, “I've never seen a better turn out at an event like this. It's great!” With such a great turn out first time around, it's a fair bet next year's event will be even bigger and better!
