Johnny, Audrey, Ada, and Annie Rider were named Family of
the year.
Audrey and Johnny are YETIS advisors and helped get YETIS
started in SD with a proposal to the board in 2016. Johnny
was on the SDSA board as District 7 director for 3 years until
having to resign summer 2019 due to a major career change
and needed to devote time to get that started.
. Attend club events and helped with bean bag tournaments in
Bryant, membership drive, and we participate in the
Governor’s Games activities and poker run every year. As a
family we help promote and participate in many different
community fundraisers to help our local communities some
organizations we help with include fire department,
Afterschool program, church camp fundraisers, etc.
: At the club level and state level we have helped promote paying
the membership dues to help keep trails open and have gotten friends to join different clubs. As a family we have enjoyed helping
out SDSA in the Sno-cross booth the past 2 years and encouraged friends and local legislators to attend Governor’s ride. We bring our
2 girls along to the Sno-cross and Governor’s rides and they ride along so they get to see the full experience of what it is like to have a
big snowmobile family. On the national level Johnny and Audrey attended ISC in Rapid City in 2016.
: We have snowmobiled for the past 5 years and we have really made it a family affair. Our family has been responsible the past 2
years to put up and take down 8 miles of trail marking that goes up to Henry and past our house. We spend a weekend working on it
together and then get to ride our snowmobiles on it. With Johnny as a director we have all promoted the SDSA events and participated
in convention the past 3 years, along with Governor’s rides. We have helped the 2 girls learn how to ride their snowmobiles and we
love to go use the trails in Black Hills during the winter where we have a cabin.
We are always doing activities with our other club members such as camping, club activities, getting together for Sunday Fundays etc.
and we are always encouraging the younger generations that come to our club events to join the club and get involved in the snowmobiling
family. Johnny and Audrey are really promoting club/state membership with the YETIS as it really bring the kids that enjoy
snowmobiling together throughout the state and they can get together at convention and governor’s ride and hang out together and
get to participate in leadership activities
