29th Annual North Country Moose Festival Canceled

NORTH COUNTRY — After considering modifications to enable more social distancing and focus on safety, the North Country Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s North Country Moose Festival.

“Everyone had hoped to find modifications that would enable us to host the Moose Festival,” said Hannah Campbell, NCCOC Board President. “However, after analyzing the situation further and considering the many unknowns, we realized that hosting such an event was not the best course forward. Although very disappointing, we believe it is the best decision to ensure the well-being of our communities. This decision was not taken lightly by the chamber, but in light of the COVID-19 pandemic we do not feel that we would be able to fully account for the New Hampshire and Vermont state rules, respectively. Without 100 percent assurance that we could keep all parts of the event entirely within guidelines and safe for our communities, we do not feel that it would be right to risk our collective health.”
