2002 Landowner Appreciation Dinner The Rumford Polar Bears Snowmobile Club held their annual Landowner Appreciation Dinner on November 7, 2002, at the Eagles Club. With 88 landowners and club members present, this was the most well-attended appreciation dinner to date. Our gracious Landowners from 2002! Prior to the 6:30 dinner, guests had an opportunity to view a video on snowmobile safety and to visit the Polar Bears booth which featured trail maps and pamphlets on snowmobiling and landowner relations. Following the dinner, Shawn Theriault, a Maine Game Warden, echoed the sentiments of the Polar Bears Snowmobile Club when he thanked the landowners for keeping their lands open for recreational purposes. He also commended the club for its responsible use of the trails. He said that it is this cooperation between recreational users and land owners that allows the public to continue the Maine tradition of recreating on private property. Theriault also spoke about the limited resources of the Warden Service and asked for help from snowmobile and ATV users to report abuses that they observe on the trails.
