Coralville-Iowa City was recently announced as the 2010 International Snowmobile Congress destination.

The event will be held from June 10-12.

Expected to participate in the four-day event are representatives from the 26 Snow Belt states, members of the Canadian Council of Snowmobile Organizations (CCSO) and the Swedish Snowmobile Owners Federation (SnoFed) as well as snowmobilers from eastern Europe and Russia.

"Iowa last hosted the Congress in 1995 in Cedar Rapids, and we are proud to bring this prestigious event back home," said Terry Durby, past ISSA president and co-chair of the ISC 2010 Planning Committee. "Being centrally located in the Midwest, we are expecting a huge turnout for this off-season extravaganza."

Founded in 1969, the ISC is a premier meeting for the sport of snowmobiling. Snowmobile policies, rules and future direction of the sport are decided annually at the Congress. In addition to meetings, attendees can also expect off-site entertainment, a Snow Show and groomer reception as well as the annual awards banquet.

Registration through April 30 is $225 per person and bumps to $250 after that date. One-day and youth registrations are also available. Visit www.iowasnowmobiler.com/isc2010 for more information or to register. The Coralville Marriott Hotel and

Conference Center in Coralville is serving as the host hotel of the conference. Rooms cost $115 per night and are available by dialing 1-888-236-2427 (ask for ISC 2010 rate).
