Last Saturday, during the festivities associated with the family-oriented winter festival, Valcourt fête l'hiver, the J. Armand Bombardier Museum welcomed a group of antique snowmobile collectors - some 108 in all, who brought more than 60 superb antique machines and snowmobiles to the first ever such gathering. Close to 600 visitors from every corner of Quebec, showed up to inspect these beautiful snowmobiles from an earlier time. Much to the delight of locals and visitors alike, the collectors paraded their snowmobiles through the streets of Valcourt, then set them up in front of the museum.
