Midwest Vintage Snowmobile Shows, Inc. is proud to announce a new location for the 35th Annual Midwest Ride-In, January 30-31st, 2026.
Based on your feedback, we searched for a location adjacent to a lake that was close to the Twin Cities Metro area. In the Dayton/Osseo/Rogers area is Dehn’s Pumpkins & Event Center. It fits the bill because it is adjacent to 450-acre French Lake and also the NW Trails/Elm Creek Snowmobile Trail. The venue allows us to reduce the footprint of our event, while retaining all the show elements that you have come to appreciate at the Midwest Ride-In --- like trail rides, judged show, swap meet, and a heated event center. Moreover, we are bringing back your favorites, like pork chops and “cruising the lake.”
Just off I-94 freeway, the new location feels rural, although it is within easy driving distance for our loyal (and new) fans. We are able to reduce admission pricing while also revising the experience and aura of past shows on Lake Waconia. While we appreciate the past support that we received at ERX Motor Park over the past five events, this new venue represents an exciting new chapter in this “World’s Largest” old snowmobile event.
