PLEDGES
The Kettle Moraine ATV Association and Antigo Area ATV/UTV Club will again host the 11th Annual ATV/UTV Charity Ride on October 13th, 2018 at NorthStar Lanes in Antigo. In 2018 we welcome the Wisconsin ATV Association as our third partner! Again, this year we will be raising money for "Make-A-Wish Wisconsin." Last year we raised an amazing $27,500, an all time record! Thank you to everyone who participated, sponsored, donated and/or contributed in any way. The funds raised helped five (5) wish kids.
Start getting your pledges now for a better chance to win one of three (3) of the really great pledge prizes. All you need to do is print a Pledge Form from the tab on the left and round up all the donations you can from family, friends, coworkers, school or church people, or even other club members. If people donate only $5 at a time, that amount will add up quickly. Don't worry, if you have a hard time asking for money, you can simply pay the $25 (individual) or $50 (Immediate family) at registration.
CLUB CHALLENGE
Open to all clubs throughout the state, and even the country, Vernes of Antigo donated a Kawasaki KLX 110 motorcycle. Yes, this is a brand new motorcycle, 1 of 3 donated by Vernes of Antigo for this event. The challenge is simple, get your club, organization, or group to raise money for Make-A-Wish as part of this event, and be entered into the drawing for this motorcycle. Raise $100, get 1 chance, raise $500, get 5 chances, raise $1,000 , you guessed it, get 10 chances to win. Obviously, the more you raise, the better the chances are to take this bike home. It would be super helpful to have the final donations mailed in by Oct 6th, but feel free to bring the final donations to the event on Oct. 13th at registration.

Antigo is ATV friendly, you can park at your hotel, unload, and drive your ATV/UTV from the Super 8, America's Best, and Holiday Inn to NorthStar Lanes.

For those who need someone to ride with, or are unfamiliar with the trail system, the Antigo Area ATV/UTV Club will have guides, and even a stragglers group so everyone has someone to enjoy the day with.
Currently Antigo Area ATV/UTV Club is working with the City of Antigo and Langlade County to obtain a "much" shorter road route to the trails via Police and Sheriff escort!
If you're worried about catching a bite on the trail, Antigo Area ATV/UTV Club is also working on finding an establishment that, will again, have a quick in and out meal so you can eat and continue riding!
Stay Tuned as developments continue to be worked out!
SATURDAY EVENING FESTIVITIES
DINNER
Dinner will be from 5:00 to 6:00pm. The menu will include ham, turkey, potatoes, and all the essentials to stuff our faces. Please do not miss this window. Without knowing ahead of time how many people we will have, and to maintain the high quality of food they are famous for, we politely requests everyone be in the food line by 6:00 pm. Food is included with your admission AND there is a cash bar for refreshment.
NOT ON AN ATV, NO PROBLEM
For those who do not partake in the ride itself, but just want to hang out, check out the raffles, maybe bid on a silent auction item or two, and just share in the experience, we would love to have you. Everyone's welcome, you just won't get to go through the food line however. Come around 6 pm and enjoy the fun!
DIRTIEST MACHINE
Unfortunately, due to the lack of participation, this has been eliminated from the event in 2018! We apologize for any inconvenience.
RAFFLES
We will have 3 or 4 raffle tables full of items that we will sell tickets for throughout the night. We will start selling tickets at 5:00pm for the 6:00pm raffle table. Then we will sell tickets at 6:00pm for the 7:00pm table, and so forth. Raffle tickets sell 3 for $5.00, 15 for $10.00, or 40 for $20. There will be some incredible baskets on all tables that you'll have multiple chances to win. Since there will be alcohol involved, only 21 and older can claim the raffle prizes. We do not take credit cards for raffle tickets, cash and checks only. There is an ATM machine located in the building. **
THE STAR
There will be an illuminated star that you can purchase a $5.00 bulb for and have a chance to win a ( to be determined). When all the bulbs are replaced from white to blue, we will pick a number, if your bulb number matches, you go home a little warmer then you came.
SILENT AUCTION
We will again have many items to bid on and you can pick up some very nice treasures. There will be stuff for all interests and desires. NEATLY put your name on the sheet and the amount you want to pay and keep an eye on it because someone else may up the ante'. The silent auction closes at 8:30pm and we will award the items shortly after 9:30pm. We will organize the lists alphabetically so if you are the winner, go to either the A-H, the I-Q, or the R-Z table. Please print neatly so we can easily read the names.
