SNOWBOUND 2018 pics are now posted at SNOWBOUND 2018 PICS . My deepest gratitude to BOGGY for sharing his memories of the weekend in digital form. In addition to being ever-present with his camera, BOGGY is also responsible for enhancing the SNOWBOUND schedule years ago by creating “Chaps N Straps”, “White Out” (thermal underwear party) AND devising the Mr. SNOWBOUND Contest, with it’s charitable intentions. A little know fact about Boggy that deserves remembrance and recognition!

February 26, 2018/in News /by Rick Conley

The Eleventh Annual SNOWBOUND Leather Weekend was held in Provincetown MA February 23-25 and by all accounts was a great success with about 200 leathermen in town for the weekend’s events.

Three days of events described as “A Winter Getaway with a Twist” concluded with the announcement of Mr. SNOWBOUND 2018, Nick Jamison of Barre VT, who brought in the most donations with his winter/leather-themed photo. The event overall raised $1,906 for the AIDS Support Group of Cape Cod, an all-time SNOWBOUND record. Handing off the Mr. SNOWBOUND sash was Eric Farkas, Mr. SNOWBOUND 2017 of Boston MA. All contestants were awarded an event package to CLAW18 April 26-29. clawinfo.org

Jay Falcon, 2011/2012 Northeast Community Bootblack, 2012 International Community Bootblack 1st Runner-up and SNOWBOUND/Mates Leather Weekend Resident Bootblack was on hand throughout the weekend.

Kudos to the 24 men who participated in the Free Health Screenings provided by the ASGCC at their new Drop-In Center located at 148a Commercial St. Your proactive approach towards your health and the health of your partners should be mirrored and lauded. Thanks to Joel and the ASGCC team for providing this important service. asgcc.org
