David Blythe, Brock Kenega and Tracey Clark were in attendance and were joined by Charles McKenzie of the Ozark Trails ATV Club out of Springfield MO. These folks are working on an idea to get grant money for off road use.By uniting all off road clubs under one association, they will have the power needed to apply for this grant money.
