Title: St. Germain - Hall Of Fame - Classic Sled Roundup
Post by: Interceptor398 on May 11, 2015, 07:23:33 PM
Just a few more weeks until the St. Germain - Hall Of Fame - Classic Sled Roundup - held in the park downtown St. Germain, WI.

Always a great swap & show. Usually great weather.
Come on out and enjoy an event that has something for everyone. This has become a weekend of fun with some of the greatest people in the Vintage snowmobile world. The Snowmobile Hall of Fame is just a few miles down the road and is a must visit. Lots of new displays have been added in the past year. The Hall of Fame also hosts a great outdoor cookout on Sat night that has become an evening to meet and speak to so many helpful members of the hobby. The best part about the cookout is the casual way it is kept. Everyone is invited and everyone feels welcome. This IS NOT a snobby event and everyone should attend if they can.
Sunday is the Classic Sled Roundup. Northern Wisconsin is hiding many great old sleds and parts. This is one of the few events that we have here to bring these machines out in public.
As we all know, the success of events like this are all about the people behind the scenes. In the past several years the Snowmobile Hall of Fame has seen many great people in the hobby step up to help and improve this event. Come out and you will not be disappointed. Per Craig

Wish I was closer. 
Never nothing like this or anything in Ohio anymore.
It's a shame ,remember always something to do with sleds in Ohio when I was a kid.  Wether it was grass drags , swamp meet or ......  Now I'm older and have money and nowhere to go and no extras to buy. .... Sometimes I Think I'm the only one in Ohio that cares and  loves the kaws and vintage sleds.  Could be wrong about all of this and living in the dark? -mike

I live in Mass. an I'm going, but I'll be on vacation in the U.P. Michigan area. My dad lives up there and that is where I was raised most of my life. From my dads place I think I will only be about 4 hours away and hopefully will be getting a 1981 Kawi Invader delivered there. Hope to talk with a lot of Kawi heads.

Looks like I will be there also,  cell # 715-441-0773.  We live in a place with no cell service so it is seldom turned on but will be this weekend.

Only thing I got was a pipe for my 81 Invader but that deal was made the week before.  There were a couple Invaders and drifters and one rough looking LTD plus a couple motors to be had.  They made up a small part of what was there but it seemed typical for finding Kawi stuff at a swap.

Went St. Germain HOF sat. nite, met with Joe Rainville, got the track Joe donated, with other Kawi parts. Thanks Joe. On Sunday went to swap, picked up some other Kawi parts. Still need a dash for this build. Met up with new and old friends, what a great day.

It was a good time!  Went to the swap when the rain was going on and some stuff was covered.  I found out later there was some good Kawi stuff under all that plastic from the guy that cleaned them out.  It was just like going to a swap the Trucker, you better get there first or he had it. All part of the fun!!

Found a couple Kawi things to bring home.  A Wiseco 440 piston, a 550 head in nice shape and a large box of Kawasaki manuals and other interesting Kawasaki information.  I need to go thru it but many of then I did not have.  Passed up 5 boxes of Kawasaki parts as most of them I have already.  Wonder who got them??  Hmmm,  Greg??  Bumped into many people I know and had another good time.  The Monday flee market was a "little" smaller than last year I think mostly due to the threat of rain but we were out of there before 10:00am and it was just fine.  We did hit some spots of rain on the way home though.

Nice advertisement. I didn't realize the lake was that close. And that big. Does look like a nice place to stay.

Well, the St Germain sled swap this year I managed to save most of my money for the Monday flea market, not much Kawasaki stuff this year. Bumped into many of the characters I call friends.  Thanks Zuk for bringing the beaver island coffee mug, hope you enjoy the dried morels!! Wendy and I will come back to the island some year. Had another old yellow chain saw follow me home and some antique shotgun reloading supplies both of witch I use so it was a good weekend!  St Germain puts on a real nice memorial service in the park but it's a bit hard to know when it is happening.

 I noticed your post from last year and mentioning Zuk.
I absolutely loved his posts on the  vintagesleds.com site with his many great pictures of life on Beaver Island.
Sadly, he passed away this past winter. It's cool that you knew Zuk....he always struck me as one heck of an individual from his many posts.
RIP Zuk.

I miss Zuk.  This at St Germain in 2016.

Second pic is on Beaver Island after the service at his church. Phil, Wendy and Deer guy.  Funny thing that morning was Phil's phone going off while he and the choir were in the middle of a song.  Had a good laugh over that one.  After that we got on the ferry and started the 23 hour trip home so Wendy could be at school Monday morning.  Our visit to Beaver Island was a good one.

It was another fun trip but really missed not see Zuk there plus some of the still with us that could not get there.  Found a couple treasures but there was very little Kawasaki stuff.  Shawn did snag a 550 head moments before I made it to that swap spot and it sounded like a fair price + it came with a re sleeved jug.

Show was a little sparse with just 2 Kawasaki's in it. The Shark clone under the roof and this nice Drifter F/A sitting on the grass, SN SC340A1  001566.  Still a fun place to visit.

2020 was kind of a big man made disaster, but 2021 was plenty good.  Found a nice Invader gas tank for $20.00 and an old McCulloch chainsaw for a good price.  Sold an Interceptor head and shop manual for what I think was a fair price to a guy putting one back together.  We spent the night in St Germain and did the flee market Monday and it is a great flee market. Also did the memorial service and they really do a good job of it there. Got a few treasures and made it home in time to finish planting my garden.  Got to see a few of my friends and had a great time!!!  It was all good even after 410 miles and 9 hours on the road. I will go back!!
