Past Events

The 2025 Sydenham Santa Claus Parade  was a fantastic event, longer and more festive than ever.  With sunny skies, crisp air, and lots of excitement, participants and spectators alike helped make it a great success.  Our members truly shone, decorating their machines with Christmas cheer and delighting children throughout the parade route.  Thanks to generous candy cane donations again this year from David Peters of Peters Drugs, Portsmouth Village, the kids were all smiles.  It was a great day and a wonderful way to celebrate the season!!!!

November 16th, 2025 Touch The Boundaries of Frontenac ATV Club’s Territory On Our End of Season Ride

We had an amazing group of people come and brave the cold November weather on our end of season ride.  Everyone enjoyed coffee, hot chocolate & lots of donuts before we headed out.  We drove through everything from dry trails, to deep icy water covered trails to snow covered before we were finished.  On our way back we stopped to warm up and have lunch at the Sharbot Lake Inn & Pub.  As always the food was delicious.   Our 50/50 winner went home with $295.00.  Congratulations.  One of our lucky members had their lunch paid for by the Pub.  Thank you Mathu for your generous offer.
