Snowmobiling’s No. 1 action star is at it again — planning a huge jump at snowmobiling’s biggest event. 
Levi LaVallee and the Sno Barons snowmobile club have jointly announced that LaVallee is planning a big, 200 foot jump as a part of the Baron’s 50th annual Haydays Grass Drags and Swap Meet event. The event will be Sept. 10-11 in Sunrise Township — just east of North Branch, Minnesota. LaVallee’s jump will occur on Saturday the 10th at 5 p.m. toward the end of the grass drag track.
The Sno Barons have been hinting for a year about big plans to celebrate 50 years of Haydays (as spelled Hay Days at various times, including in the press release below). Certainly LaVallee’s jump will be big, and it’ll be interesting to see what else they have up their collective sleeves.
Below is the press release from LaVallee and the Sno Barons.
