Can-Am Sponsors New ATV Festival at NH’s Jericho Mountain State Park

June 22, 2010 - PRLog -- BERLIN NH – Can-Am, the division of Bombadier Recreational Products, Inc. that manufactures and distributes four-wheel, side-by-side and roadster ATVs, is the title sponsor for the Can-Am Jericho ATV Festival on July 10 and 11, which is being held in Jericho Mountain State Park in Berlin, New Hampshire. Announcement of the sponsorship was made by Nancy Clark of Glen Group, which is overseeing management and promotion of the event. “We’re pleased that Can-Am, one of the world’s premier ATV manufacturers, is the title sponsor for this first-ever event. I think that Can-Am’s sponsorship reflects the kind of reception an event of this caliber is going to have among ATV enthusiasts.”

Two full days of family-friendly fun are planned for the free event, including ATV and trail bike activities, a Poker Run, guided tours, kids’ activities, demo rides on some of the latest Can-Am ATV models, on site food concessions, and much more. “We’ve received tremendous support from area businesses and ATV clubs,” continues Chris Gamache of the New Hampshire Trails Bureau, which is hosting the event. “In addition to Can-Am, the North Country’s largest ATV and side-by-side dealer, Absolute PowerSports of Gorham, New Hampshire, and Wells River, Vermont, has signed on as our presenting sponsor.  Cannon Mountain, which is part of Franconia Notch State Park, is providing support for the event, as well. Other sponsors include Dalton Mountain Motorsports, Profile Powersports, Freedom Cycle and the National Guard—and without them all, it wouldn’t be possible to provide an event of this scope for free.” The event will run from 8am to 4pm on Saturday, July 10, and from 8am to 3pm on Sunday, July 11.

The Can-Am Jericho ATV Festival is part of a key initiative designed to bolster and stabilize the economy of Coos County and establish it as an outdoor recreation center. It is being held at New Hampshire’s newest State Park. With 7,500 acres and more than 50 miles of scenic trails, Jericho Mountain State Park is designed to become a year-round off-highway recreational vehicle (OHRV) hub for the North Country region. Any ATV or trail bike that will be used only at the event— that is, within Jericho Mountain State Park, the Cross-City Trail and the Success Trail— will not need a New Hampshire registration during the Festival.
