  1. After I left the museum today I remembered the name of Mrs. Meyer–it is Nancy (Rudek) Her father-in-law, Cleo was very active in the Sno-Dogs smowmobile club. They would have the early history. Nancy and Dave did the snowmobile safety class for many years. They live on Mary Lane, which is north of Evergreen Equipment and south of the fairgrounds.
