    • A Sno-Bee as long as there have been Sno-Bees. Frank volunteered when the club was formed in the late 1960’s , helping build trails, and groom back when there were no trails, and groomers consisted of a homemade drag pulled behind a snowmobile. Frank recalls the days when multiple versions of these homemade drags would be left around the trail network, and riders would take turns grooming their section of trail. Eventually the club acquired a groomer (the first of many Queen Bee’s) , which Frank helped operate for years. Frank was an unsung hero who selflessly donated his time to help make Sno-Bees the club that it is today.
