Dear Fellow motorcycle riders.
You
are invited to the 2nd Annual, Wardens on Wheels, motorcycle
rally. The rally is set for the weekend of August
8-10, 2008 at the Game Warden Museum, located in the International
Peace Gardens. The Peace Gardens straddle the Manitoba/
North Dakota border.
Last year
saw 16 riders, on 14 bikes, meet for the 1st annual rally. The riders
collected pledges and a donation of $1830.00 was made to the Game Warden Museum
construction fund. We plan to continue with this fund raising for 2008.
Seven tenting
sites have been reserved for us at Lake Metigoshe Sate Park. The sites are
capable of handling more than seven tents. There will most likely be
other tenting sites available as well. The park is located about 14 miles
SW of the Peace Gardens. A picnic shelter has been reserved for Friday
and Saturday night so we will be able to socialize as a group in the evenings. Local
hotels may already be booked up due to a local convention. To obtain
a list of local B&B’s motels and hotels contact the individuals below.
Friday evening
we will be planning a steak supper at a local steak house. Saturday we
will be meeting at the Museum to present our donations (pledge sheets are available
by contacting individuals below) and meet the other riders. A group ride
will then take place, in the surrounding area. We will stop for supper,
and then head back to Lake Metigoshe.
Make your
vacation plans and lets get together to ride and meet some of our fellow officers.
For more
information contact:

If you plan
on attending please e-mail Paul or myself so we can add you to the e-mail list
and we will have an idea on numbers for meal reservations.
I hope to
see you there.

Grainger Saskatchewan Wildlife Officer and organizer of the
group Wardens on Wheels recently
issued a challenge to all Wildlife Enforcement Officers
and Associates to join in a motorcycle rally to the North American
Game Warden Museum.
Conservation
Officers in Saskatchewan organized and participated in
a motorcycle run on August 11 and 12th. The venue for their ride was
the NAWEOA Museum at the International Peace Gardens. The
group sent out an invitation to all Wildlife Enforcement
Officers and Associates to "hop on your bikes and meet
us there". "This will be an excellent time for
people to get together and share stories and experiences
with motorcycles and our profession", said Rob
Grainger. Conservation Officers from Manitoba, Alberta
and North Dakota also participated in the event.Saskatchewan
Wildlife Officer Paul Hopkins, a member
of the Board of Directors for the Game Warden
Museum, came up with the idea that the group obtain pledges
of money for their run to donate to the museum. On
August 11, a formal presentation was made of the $1830.00
raised by the group. The money is to be earmarked towards
the final phase of
construction for the museum building. A BIG THANK
YOU goes out to the “Warden on Wheels” group
for their support of the Game Warden Museum.
