LACK OF SNOW WILL NOT STOP THE ANNUAL PINE TREE RIDE-IN
Hopefully, the January thaw is finished and the snow will fall to coat the trails for this coming weekend as snowmobilers from all over the state ride in to Newport to raise money for Pine Tree Camp. The 2012 Dysart’s Snowmobile Ride-in to benefit Pine Tree Camp will go on even if the snow is lacking as it has for the past 38 years. Since 1974, snowmobile clubs from all over Maine have helped to raise over $3.6 million for Pine Tree Camp, an extraordinary summer camp for Maine children and adults with disabilities. Throughout the year, these clubs have raised funds for Pine Tree Camp, and they will all be converging on Newport with their contributions for the 2012 Snowmobile Ride-in, being held on Friday, February 3rd through Sunday, February 5th.
