UpNorth Sports partners with ERX for new event
Since the announcement in late July that the 54th annual Hay Days Grass Drags & Swap Meet was cancelled, smaller-sized events have begun forming across both Minnesota and Wisconsin in an effort to reclaim some of the enthusiasm lost in its absence.
The first-ever Elk River XPO at ERX will be held Sept. 11-13 at ERX Motor Park in Elk River, Minnesota, to offer “a social distancing event like none other… created for snowmobile and powersports community is a place where you can shop the newest styles and trends in powersports clothing, UTV’s, Snowmobiles, ATVs, trailers, and more!”
“I knew we needed an event for powersports enthusiasts to transition from summer fun to winter fun,” said event organizer Joe Duncan. “After interviews and review of state guidelines, I think we’ve found the best option for an event.”
Vendors to date include: UpNorth Sports, FXR, FLYracing, 509, KLIM, Castle, DSG, TOBE, FOX, WPS, Sedona Tire & Wheel, StudBoy, USI skis, Woodys, Caliber, Optimas starters, KFI Products, Power Lodge, Bikeman Performance and more.
