Board Voting Open this Weekend
NEW & NOTEWORTHY
Family Day this Saturday!
After an amazing family dance last weekend we’re excited for this week's festive Family Day. There’s lots of outdoor (and indoor) fun planned. Kid racing begins at 11:30am with awards to follow immediately after the race. From 1:00 - 4:00pm Fantail Farms will guide horse-drawn sleigh rides from our parking lot, free to all members and guests. Ride the sleigh around Caberfae Village as many times as you wish! Then from 1:00 - 5:00pm enjoy a bonfire and s’mores at the fire pit in front of the Club. Family friendly music in the round room will be provided 4:00 - 6:00pm by Toby and Stephanie. Don’t miss this fun day for all ages!
Drop in Race Clinic Saturday
Nate and Seth Houk will be hosting a drop-in race clinic (all ages and abilities) on Olympia from 12-2 PM on Saturday, February 1. Gates will be set and ready to go by 12 PM sharp. Cost is $10 and can be paid cash or Venmo on the spot. If you would like to participate you need to have a current race waiver on file with Caberfae (Wednesday Night racers and existing Junior Program participants already do). For others use this LINK to sign a waiver.
Family Dance Cuts a Rug
The family dance on Saturday was a huge hit with young and old alike, and served as a reminder that the future of the Club is secure! DJ Glen kept the energy high and lots of fun was had by all.

Double Parking is Allowed…But With a Catch
With so many people enjoying this great snow year, weekend and event parking can be full to overflowing. Double parking can be a solution but please make sure to drop your car keys with Sue in the kitchen so other vehicles can get out when they need to.
Parking Request for Truck and Large Vehicle Owners
The Club is busy and attendance at special events has been great! This also means a full parking lot many weekends. The Board is asking that the first two parking spots inside the gate, adjacent to the McKenzie Lodge, be CARS ONLY to avoid blocking the gate. This is both a fire egress issue as well as general safety issue for the parking lot. Thank you!
