BERLIN âThe Androscoggin Valley ATV Invasion festival, scheduled for July 30 and 31, has been canceled. The news was announced in a release issued Friday by Androscoggin Valley ATV Club President Alex Smith.
Smith said the club was unable to obtain adequate insurance coverage for the event and drought conditions at the time created undesirable conditions for the mud pit and other activities.
Expected to attract thousands of ATV enthusiasts to the area, plans for the event included mud pit races, an obstacle course, a rally race and a concert.
âWe have had a team working to create and plan an exceptional event for this summer. This team has dedicated four months filled with long hours to bring the plan to fruition. It is despite these best efforts that circumstances have cut short those plans,â Smith said.
