2022 MSA Groomer of the Year - Dwight Flewelling By Mark Chinnock

has stepped up, taken care of business year after year with out complaint, no regrets and never asked for anything in return. I have a very high respect and admiration for this Dwight, because he has served at the pleasure of his club for not 10 years, not 20 years, but has served as Trailmaster for over 30 years. Dwight is one of the founders of this club and has been an active member since the 1960’s. Dwight Flewelling doesn’t come out of the shadows when the snow hits the ground. He’s out in the fields driving stakes and putting up field markers as soon as the farmers are done in the fall and when the snow leaves in the spring he is right back out there pulling them back out so the farmers can get back to work. At the amazing age of 77, he is still in the driv er’s seat of the groomer, and it’s usually at midnight till wee hours of the morning. Everyone in the community and club knows that if they are ever in a bad way that they could call on him day or night and he would be there, he was one of those guys, just an amazing man, and one which I wish I would have met a long time ago. You would be hard pressed to find anyone in the snow mobiling community that doesn’t know Dwight and have a story to tell about him with a smile on their face. I hope that everyone keeps chasing the passion for snowmobiling Dwight has. Please join me in congratulating Dwight Flewel ling of the Easton Trailbreakers as the 2022 MSA Groomer of the Year!

This without a doubt is one of the highlights of my job to be able to pay tribute to one of our groomer/operators/trail master/sign guy/landowner relations and the list goes on, because they are the best of the best. I don’t believe anyone would disagree that we could tell this story over and over again 100 times, and that’s what makes this group so special.

We have the pleasure of honoring Dwight Flewelling who

What ’s been going on.
