Text Box:   Region 7 Report Notes from ISSA Region 7 Director Steve Klinkefus   Your ISSA has been busy this summer starting with hosting the 2010 International Snowmobile Congress in Coralville, Iowa on June 10, 11, 12.  This congress was attended by over 400 avid snowmobilers from across the USA, Canada, and Sweden.  There were sessions dealing with some of the hot topics pertaining to snowmobiling, many vendors especially groomers and grooming equipment on display, a really fun off site event, interesting speakers with one being the SDSC’s own Sheila Holz.  Saturday evening brought an end to congress with a banquet where the Year of Awards were presented with Iowa pulling in two awards USA Snowmobiler of the Year Merv Hoermann, ISSA Region One Director and USA Snowmobile Dealer of the Year ISSA Region Seven’s  Midstates Powersports  owned by SDSC’s Jon and Janine Seibert, Congratulations.  Congress participants also had a lot of fun along with the serious stuff and according to many Iowa put on one of the best ISC’s ever. Next came the inaugural Iowa Trail Summit in Cedar Falls with many trail user groups both motorized and non-motorized.  Snowmobilers did a good job of promoting our sport. Then in July the Snowdrifters from Region 12 hosted the ISSA Summer Campout, again many avid snowmobilers attended and were rewarded with fun things to do and great food.  Many greeted old friends they hadn’t seen since winter and also made new ones.  The concensus was that this campout set the bar very high for future campouts. Speaking of future campouts Region Seven’s Raccoon Valley Snow Chasers were awarded the 2011 ISSA Summer Campout and will be hosting that event next July. ISSA contracted to update our 2005 Economic Impact Study and that will be done via an email online survey to ISSA members during the months of September and October.  The survey will also be on the ISSA website.  We need the data collected from this update to help with any legislation ISSA may go for this session and in the future so please fill out the online survey when you receive it.
