CRAWFORD COUNTY – United Way of Crawford County and a group of local volunteers held the 18th Annual Snowmobile Fun Run. And according to organizer Mary Becker, it will be the last event. Becker said when COVID struck last year they opted to hold a virtual event and she would match any donations. They were successful and raised a total of $4,000. But a lack of snow over the years and declining participation just made things more difficult, causing the cancelation of the event. This year the group, which included the “Snowmobile Pirates,” a collective of riders who have participated in each event over the past 18 years, raised $1,131.
