Town of Shirley Birthday Celebration

On occasion we at MaineATV Clubs.com get to do some really fun stuff. Now don’t get us wrong, anytime you’re out and about on your atv in this special place (Maine) it has to be fun or you need to take up a different activity. We know about the trail signing issues, mud-holes and general all around trail maintenance. Trail work is not always fun. But after that effort is accomplished, and then the fun begins. (Thanks to all who work so hard to see that we have a place to enjoy this activity.) Enough said.

Now back to the original subject matter.

The birthday of one of Maine’s tucked away little gems (towns) called Shirley (175 years young) was recently celebrated and Maine ATV Clubs tagged along. We’ll let us tell you, we had a fantastic time and what fun it was. This little town with a population of about 183 and covering approximately 53 square miles, located just South of Greenville in

Piscataquis County knows how to throw a party. This is one of those gems that allows atv access and knows the positive economic impact to the region this activity has. This day the population swelled to 10 times the norm and all seemed to be enjoying the party. The fireworks that evening were some of the best folks had seen in many years.

Pictured you will find something different in riding apparel. Looks like the “Red-Hat Society” has taken over riding atv’s. In another is one of the original atv’s.

Happy birthday Shirley and thanks to Moosehead ATV Riders.
