2017 SCORPION HOMECOMING RESULTS

13TH ANNUAL CUYUNA LAKES ICE FISHING CONTEST AND SCORPION HOMECOMING ENJOYS MILD WEATHER, LARGE CROWDS AND TEN HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT TRAIL-A-SLED AIR-SLEDS

One hundred and ten snowmobiles were on display this past Saturday at the 13th Annual Cuyuna Lakes Ice Fishing Context and Scorpion Homecoming. Several hundred participants enjoyed the mild weather and a strong showing of feature machines, including Trail-A-Sled’s famed “airsleds” from the late 1950’s and early 1960’s. (The firm was known as Trail-A-Sled, Inc. before changing it’s name to Scorpion Snowmobiles.) Ten of these extremely rare machines were on display. Built before snowmobiles became all the rage, these airsleds were a crucial early link in the evolution of snowmobiling. They were manufactured just off Serpent Lake’s west end, in the Lakeview district.

And a hearty thank you to all the volunteers who helped to make this another successful event, including: Cuyuna Lakes Chamber of Commerce, Sno-Serpents Snowmobile Club, Miss Crosby-Ironton Scholarship Pageant, Antique Snowmobile Society, and numerous family and friends.
