AUGUSTA — The Maine Warden Service will conduct its annual snowmobile safety press conference at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 30, at the State House Hall of Flags.
Attendees will include Gov. John E. Baldacci; Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Commissioner Roland “Danny” Martin; Warden Service Col. Joel Wilkinson; and Bob Meyers, executive director of the Maine Snowmobile Association; and a man whose son died in a snowmobile incident last season.
Maine Warden Service spokeswoman Deborah Turcotte said the father, whom she didn’t identify, is tentatively
scheduled to speak about his son’s death and the impact it had on
himself and his family.
The state will debut a snowmobile safety public service announcement that will air on television stations throughout Maine during the season, Turcotte said in a report.
Baldacci, Martin, Wilkinson and Meyers will address state resources for a safe season, the sport’s economic impact on Maine and the opportunities that are available for sledders who live in or visit Maine.
