Rome Designated as a “Snowmobile Friendly Community”

Rome, WI — The Association of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs (AWSC) formally announced eight Wisconsin Communities as a “Snowmobile Friendly Community.” The AWSC normally announces the Snowmobile Friendly Community Awards during their annual spring Convention, but COVID-19 forced a cancellation of this state-wide Convention for over 600 snowmobilers representing all 72 Wisconsin counties. 

The Town of Rome’s local Snowmobile Club, the Rome Sno-Bandits, achieved Snowmobile Friendly status by completing a 21-page application describing how they and the Community advocate for safe and responsible snowmobiling in our area. In addition to Rome, congratulations are in order for the communities of: Cambria, Marathon City, Osceola, Park Falls, Plum Lake, Siren, and Webster.  All SFC winners are awarded reflective, high-visibility, 24” x 36” highway signs to let all visitors know they are entering a “Snowmobile Friendly Community.”  

The Snowmobile Friendly Designation is a four-year term and communities may reapply for subsequent awards. Created through a partnership between the AWSC and the Wisconsin Department of Tourism, the Program accurately identifies which communities and snowmobile clubs are “best” at welcoming, preserving, and providing snowmobile access, support, and services for snowmobilers.  

The Rome Sno-Bandits Snowmobile Club is an organization of over 200 members and maintains about 35 miles of snowmobile trails in Adams County. The Sno-Bandits are actively involved in the community and host events such as the Rome Classic Car Show, Highway Cleanups, Club Trips, and Christmas in Rome.
