On Saturday, December 11, start your day at Pioneer Farm and check out all the vintage sleds that made their way back to town after being assembled here over 50 plus years ago. The David Johnson Vintage Snowcat Spectacular brings some of the oldest snowcats around for enthusiasts to talk about and even sit on as you imagine the engineering and testing that took place. Many still run and you might see a relic gliding over the farm fields. Visitors often ride their current models to the event and swap tales and talk engines.  

 

After viewing the vintage sleds, make your way into Roseau and stop by the Polaris Experience Center. You will know you are there when you see the giant loop with a snowmobile suspended upside down. The original Polaris Thrill Team would ride their snowmobiles around a loop like this recreated replica that was made to celebrate Polaris’s 50th Anniversary. Inside the Experience Center you can see videos, photos, and other memorabilia from the beginning of Polaris creation until now. The museum is always free to tour. It is located next to Polaris’s manufacturing, research and development plant. Plant tours are available. Ask for details at the Experience Center.  

The Experience Center will be celebrating their 20th Anniversary and will have special sales,  giveaways, refreshments, and some new and exciting products on the property.  They have the largest selection of Polaris Merchandise in Roseau. Stop, tour the museum and grab some swag as you head out the door.
