Here's a photo from VAST of the "Barre Town Thunder Chickens" winning Club of the Year!
We have such a great group of people working hard very hard to make improvements wherever they're needed.
We're so fortunate to have Dave Rouleau as Club President. We sure appreciate him and all the time and effort he puts into make us a better club. Also, thank you to the Groomer's, our Trail Master, Officers & Directors, Sponsors,
and all of our wonderful Volunteers that are involved with making us club of the year 2009. Thanks!!

This season we hosted two safety classes as there was more demand than classes available. Between the two classes we certified close to 80 students. The Certified Instructors were David Rouleau,Mark Reaves, Pam Massey and Kevin Collins. Thanks to Washington County Sheriff Dept and BT EMS for helping with law enforcement and trailside emergency chapters. Also thanks to Barre Town School for use of their facility, Subway of Barre and Domino's pizza for providing our lunches and Montpelier Rec. Dept for assisting us with pre-registration. Also to the "behind the scenes" crew that help make things run smoothly, Jillian and Kristin Rouleau, Dana Robinson, Leslie Newton. Thanks to the parents/students in the group sharing information and making these some of the most interactive course to date. Congratulations to all and we look forward to seeing you on the trails.
Please contact David at 476-7732 to inquire about home study options and having the test administered by a certified instructor. Check back next fall for class offerings for the 2010-2011 season.
