"Clowns on bikes? Sure. But a parade of costumed clowns whizzing by you on an ORV trail? Now that's something you don't see every day.
Conservation Officer Brian Lasanen was out patrolling in an ORV area on opening day of small game hunting season when he saw the circus go by.
"Activity was high for ORV riders enjoying a nice fall day. CO Lasanen contacted a large group of riders dressed in clown costumes. One of the riders advised they are from a snowmobile club out of Baraga and every year they have a themed ride. CO Lasanen advised the riders that it was the first contact he had with subjects dressed up in clown costumes out riding."
