Winter Event Schedule 2025/26
(Updated 1/7/26)
Tentative full year schedule above. See below for more details on individual events!
Taco Feed
Hi everyone! Taco Feed has been moved to 1000 Springs for this upcoming weekend, January 10th. WE HAVE SNOW! Bring the sleds!
Dinner will be at 4PM on Saturday. The Gabaldons are providing the main dish, taco shells/tortillas, taco meet, cheese, onions, etc. But please consider bringing up a complimentary dish for the event that goes well with Tacos. Rice/beans, other mexican themed dishes or a desert and as always, your own refreshments.
Feel free to post in the event discussion here letting others know what you are bringing up, as to avoid 10 people brining rice or beans for example
1st Annual Snowmobile Swap
Lake of the Woods 1st Annual Snowmobile Swap
Join us at Lake of the Woods Resort for a fun-filled day of snowmobile swapping, shopping, and community spirit! Whether you’ve got a sled to sell, gear to trade, or you’re just looking for that perfect part or accessory, this is the place to be.
Bring your new or used machines and gear – from snowmobiles and trailers to helmets, jackets, and accessories. Set up with a simple table and pop-up tent (in case of weather), or go all out with an enclosed trailer full of goodies to showcase.

The store will be open for your needs
Cozy up with your favorite winter warmer or grab a snack from the lodge

Join us at 1000 Springs, Saturday October 18th for our annual wood cut party.

No Host Ride
We’ll be heading down to Deer Park/Mountain next weekend for a no host ride out of Shasta. Shasta looks to be getting some more snow later in the week and I have a feeling it might be deep out there.

General Club Meeting & Pie Auction
I apologize for the inconvenience but due to a scheduling conflict the club has rescheduled the Candlelighter’s Pie Auction from February 7, 2023 to Monday February 6, 2023 6pm at Rogue Regency in the conference room.
Be sure and bring your pies and money to this fund raiser for Candlelighters. The club will provide dinner at 6 pm with the auction to follow. Bob Guthmiller has agreed to be the auctioneer.
Through your donation the CANDLELIGHTERS are able to do many things like grant a child’s last wish, take the children on a fun outing and give the children and their family hope and support as they go thru their treatment. The funds will help with travel expenses, (food, gas & lodging), for those children who must travel to OHSU in Portland or Doernbecker’s Children’s Hospital for treatment.
They come and help with our annual pie auction which is used as our annual fund raiser for the CANDLELIGHTERS. We also take them for snowmobile rides and a BBQ at our Thousand Springs snow shelter. They also join us at our annual summer camp out for fun, games and great food. It is donations such as yours that helps this organization do a little more for their kids. Your donation is tax deductible because CANDLELIGHTERS (501c3) and Rogue Snowmobilers (501c7) are registered as nonprofit organizations.
If you cannot attend the Candlelighters Pie Auction and wish to do so you can send a check to Sherry Allen (Secretary). Our address is PO Box 1423, Medford, Or. 9750. Please make the check payable to Rogue Snowmobilers. Sherry will add it for our contribution to the charity.
Thank You for your support,
Chuck Allen
President Rogue Snowmobilers
