A Busy February Underway
I know it’s Q106.5 Egg Ride Week, and that’s kind of our focus.
We get in up to our elbows in raising as much money for Pine Tree Camp as we possibly can. So thank you for your patience and for your donations.
Obviously, this year is different then years gone by, because we were told over a month ago that due to Coronavirus protocol, we wouldn’t be able to hold the Q106.5 Egg Ride. Certainly the problem isn’t out in the woods on a snowmobile. The issue is that the ride starts with breakfast inside the Hungry Hollows Snowmobile Club in Levant. And it’s buffet style. So far there’s a couple of issues. It’s a snowmobile club, not a fancy ball room you’d find in a big city hotel. The Live Auction is also held there. Then part way thru the ride we stop at the Penobscot Snowmobile Club in Hermon. Same deal. We would have difficulty making sure that everyone there was socially distanced. Quite frankly it is just not worth the risk.

Originally known as the Egg Run, The Q106.5 Egg Ride is 35 in 2021.
Unfortunately, because of COVID-19, the event, itself, has been canceled by the beneficiary, The Pine Tree Camp. Instead, we re taking our egg ride fundraising efforts virtual to help the camp, which does so much for so many.
I know for the most part we re out on the snowmobiles, in the open air, but there are many more parts of the Egg Ride that have to be considered.
We start with a breakfast at Hungry Hollow 76ers Snowmobile Club in Levant. There are other events there, too, including an auction. And it s all done inside their clubhouse, which as you could imagine isn t huge. There s no way to social distance and it s usually a buffet breakfast, so that s out now, too. We also stop part way thru the ride at the Penobscot Snowmobile Club. After all, one gets hungry after an hour riding. Kidding. Of course we stop because there are related events there. The conclusion
