(Beaver Pa.)  The Annual Beaver County Snow Shovel Riding Contest was a topic of discussion at the Beaver County Commissioners work session on Wednesday. Tony Caltury the head of Recreation and Tourism in Beaver County informed the Commissioners and the crowd in attendance that this years event is being cancelled due to the lack of snow.  The festival was scheduled to take place this Saturday, February 15, 2025.

Caltury said that they are going to switch it up for next year. In December they will open registration and inform registrants that they will decide on a weekend in January when there is snow on the ground. Caltury said they will make the decision on a Wednesday and notify everyone that it is happening that weekend. They will avoid the weekend of the Polar Plunge. Commissioners Chairman Dan Camp stated that 55 people had registered this year to participate.
