Snowarama returning to Grand Portage Lodge & Casino for 17th year

For the 17th year, “Thunder Bay Snowarama for Easter Seals Kids” is heading south of the border to Grand Portage, attracting snowmobilers from across northwestern Ontario and Minnesota to enjoy some of the finest groomed trails in northern Minnesota.
 
Thanks to generous donors and events like Snowarama, Easter Seals Ontario provides programs and services that help kids with physical disabilities get essential mobility and accessibility equipment and opportunities to attend Easter Seals fully accessible summer camps.
 
On Saturday, February 8,  Snowarama participants will enjoy a complimentary dinner and live Saturday night entertainment, featuring Blue Collar Cocktail. 
 
Organizers and sponsors—Easter Seals Ontario, the Grand Portage Lodge & Casino, the Grand Portage Trail Riders and the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior—invite community members to this truly family event.
 
Participants can enjoy the trails, a bonfire and prizes throughout the weekend.
 
Over the past 16 years, the Grand Portage Lodge and Casino Snowarama has raised over $495,000 for children and youth with physical disabilities. Snowarama for Easter Seals Kids would not be a success without the support of the local snowmobiling community.
 
Easter Seals Senior Development Officer Rhonda Harrison said, “Together we are helping kids be kids.”
 
Harrison encouraged anyone with questions to visit:  Snowarama.org.
 
“This is the 17th year of the Grand Portage Snowarama, and we feel very privileged to have such dedicated support from Grand Portage Lodge and Casino along with all of the other local sponsors and riders who make this event a big success year after year,” says Kevin Collins, President and CEO, Easter Seals Ontario.
