Big Sky RC Christmas Party Results
20 Dec 2025, PitStop Cafe
Hey everyone,
Here’s a quick Christmas party wrap-up. We had 24 people dining this year. A couple of our Havre friends, Larry & Max, came on down as well to join in. We had a chicken dinner with tater tots & beans. Lots of people also brought desert side dishes. A few of us figured we’d like to try a new place and new meal for the Christmas party next year if possible. We figure with all the money the car guys give us that shouldn’t be a problem.
Here’s who won the prizes the club gave out:
$100 gift card for the meeting attendance drawing: Bonita Knight
$100 gift card raffle ticket drawing: Dan Woods
$50 gift card raffle ticket drawing: Judy Woods
$50 gift card raffle ticket drawing: Max Hinrichs
A big thanks to Don Woods who continues to donate a selection of new tools to give away as door prizes – thanks Don! Two years of this makes it tradition now? We’ll need to bend Don’s arm next winter and remind him he started this.
We announced our annual “BSRC Member of the Year” and that went to Don Woods firstly for donating $5000.00 to the club to build the new outhouse. Don not only paid for the vast majority of our new outhouse he also was a primary volunteer along with Dan in building the outhouse. So when you’re sitting in the new crapper keep Don in your thoughts! You can visit my blog of this adventure at https://bigskyrcm.org/the-new-outhouse.
Brandon Parmeter, one of our newest club members, happened to pick the BSRC wine bottle during the gift exchange. One problem…Brandons a little young for spirits so Jerry Knight stole it and is now responsible for bringing it back in 2026 as a mystery gift.
We took in $200 for member’s meals and $100 in raffle tickets.
Lastly – thanks to all the car guys for subsidizing our Christmas dinner and all we do in the club these days! BSRC had a great year of flying and racing. Now it’s time for me to start shopping for a new mower to put in that fancy new shed…at a minimum I really need some new blades.
