The officers of Lake Country Riders Snowmobile Club surprised Denny and Barb Blodgett with Heat a Home/Interfaith Caregivers of Burnett County with 3 wheelbarrows this morning. The club purchased 6 new wheelbarrows for them a couple years ago. At our annual club woodstacking event members decided a few of the wheelbarrows needed to be retired/replaced. Pictured are Sec. Deb Schoepke, Barb and Denny Blodgett, Pres. Jon Schoepke and V.P. Jon Hager. Not pictured (Treas. Bruce Reed.)
