We meet every 3rd Saturday at Stumpy’s Bar & Restaurant at 10:00 a.m. Our members hold three DNR sanctioned Youth ATV Safety Trainings each year. In 2022 these trainings are: Saturday, April 30 in Plainview; Saturday, May 14 in Rushford, and Saturday, September 10 in Rushford. We enjoy our local area trails and exploring other riding experiences around the country. Our members actively support ATVMN. Find us on Facebook.
Family fun for over 150 years, the Fillmore County Fair continues to promote agriculture and the projects of our 4-H community!
