A full day of learning about snowmobile safety is being planned for Saturday, March 7th in Madawaska.

That's right, the Madawaska Snowmobile Club is putting on a snowmobile rider's clinic to show you the mechanics of a snowmobile, proper snowmobiling gear and some snowmobiling safety tips as well as Maine laws. And an added bonus, some of the Warden's from the hit TV show 'North Woods Law' will be on hand as well!
