"Plans for the Bradford Snowarama are quickly shaping up as organizers distribute pledge forms, and snowmobilers line up sponsors for the 100-mile ride slated for Sunday, February 5. The Ontario Society for Crippled Children is coordinating the event for the fourth year with the help of local snowmobile clubs, and service clubs involved with the Easter Seals campaign. The society has set a goal of $1 million for the Bradford Snowarama and 17 other similar rides to be held throughout the province. "Things are looking good right now for the Bradford Snowarama," said Don Hart, supervisor of service club relations for Crippled Children. "We're optimistic that everything will go well, if the weather is good." The Bradford and District Snowmobile Club will blaze the trail which begins at Varley's Marina and follows a route north from Bradford along the Schomberg River to Lake Simcoe, following the eastern shore of Cook's Bay as far as Snake Island, crossing over to Innisfil Beach. It continues north to Big Bay Point and heads for the northern terminus at Kempenfeldt Bay. The return route parallels the west coast of Lake Simcoe, and winds through Big Bay Point, Innisfil Beach, Gilford, and back to Bradford and Varley's Marina. More than $50,000 was raised last year by the Bradford Snowarama, and organizers hope to top that amount by a wide margin this year. Whipper Billy Watson, a regular at the snowaramas and a Bradford resident, has helped recruit an impressive line-up of snowmobilers for his hometown ride."
