DETROIT LAKES — The Old Timers Classic Snowmobile Run and vintage sled show, held annually in Lake Park, is always a crowd pleaser, and with temperatures flirting with above freezing, this year's event was no exception.
Show organizers from the Midnite Riders Snowmobile Club estimated that there were several dozen sleds in the vintage show that started off the day on Saturday, Feb. 4 — and well over 400 riders taking part in the ride that followed. Stops on this year's run included Audubon Liquor Store, Cormorant Pub, Cormorant Lakes Sportsman's Club, Hooligan's, Parallel 46, Roadhouse, Pit 611 and TJ's Booze and Bistro as well as the Lake Park Liquor Store, where the event began and ended.
Detroit Lakes' Joe Koch took home the Best in Show trophy for his 1985 R & R Manta.
