Youth ATV Training

 Snow Shoe Rails to Trails in Conjunction with Carns Equipment in Clearfield held atv Youth Certification Training, Saturday, May 13, 2023. Bob Biggans, Donna Verost, Mark Watson and Dwayne Cossar were the trainers while Black Moshannon Forest provided two officers to help out with the training. They also distributed maps and other literature to the attendees. Beth Watson helped with the organization of paperwork and t-shirts. Geo's was on hand to provide (the best pulled pork sandwiches) hot dogs, burgers and mac & cheese and steak sandwiches along with a variety of soda & water. Samantha and Geoff Carns came up with a pin wheel idea for the kids so they could win something. Geoff said it is all about the kids. Let's all help them to be better in what they do. The pin wheel held a total of $8000 that could be used towards any new or used atv, utv. The offer is good for 30 days. Each child registered for the training got to draw one Carns card that would have a dollar amount on the back. That amount can be used to purchase a vehicle on top of all the other discounts and rebates. What a surprising feature for the attendees and their parents. 

The classroom training was first with the DCNR Officers making a presentation and question session. Then the ssrt trainers did their presentations and then it was to the outside for the atv hands on training in the field. They all had a blast at doing the varies courses.
