Stoney Keppel Riders are holding their AGM this Wednesday April 17th at 7pm at the shack. If you’ve been wanting to join us this would be a great opportunity. Wings and refreshments to celebrate a great year and our awesome volunteers!
Shack Party 2019
We had a great turn out to our Shack Party again this year!
We were pleased to present one of the founding members of the club with an award of appreciation. It was really interesting to hear Barry Howey talk about the first days of the club. (see photos at bottom from his shack)
We’d like to thank all of the sponsors especially Subway in Wiarton for supplying us with an abundance of food! Also Cory Gunn at Tim Hortons in Owen Sound (near OSDSS on the west side) for the coffee and hot chocolate and all the fixings.
And for all the awesome raffle prizes a big Thank You to…
The Spa Guy
National Powersports and Financing
Hal Wright Chevrolet Cadillac GMC Buick
Hallman Motors LTD
Vanvugt Greenhouses
Owen Sound Ledgerock Factory Outlet
Wiarton Home Hardware Building Centre
The Gaslight Diner

and whoever brought the amazing preserves…it was chaos and I missed that!
AND finally to all the volunteers for their time and effort. I’d specifically like to thank the new members in the club for really stepping up!
The 50/50 winner. Mike Goetz was our big winner taking home $155.
The photos below are of the Stoney Keppel Riders Shack that was on Barry Howey’s property…I’m not sure if he is in them but I do see some familiar, younger, faces. The second photo said it was from Shack Party 2009…10 years ago!!
