Beaver County Snow Shovel Riding Championship   c/o Beaver County Recreation               Old Economy Park        Forcey Road (Economy Borough)       Baden, PA 15005   724-770-2060

This has been a one-of-a-kind event in Beaver County for over 50 years.  It’s scheduled to be held on the second Saturday  of January (weather permitting) which is  January 13, 2018.  If there is not sufficient snow on the ground to hold the event that day, it will be postponed to the following Saturday and thereon until it is held, up to the last Saturday in February.  If cancelled, the information will be posted by Noon on Thursday on the Beaver County Ice Arena Facebook page.

All ages can participate in regular and modified divisions while attempting to slide down a 160′ snow-covered slope in the fastest time.  Trophies will be awarded to all first and second place winners.  Spectators are  welcome!

Beaver County Humane Society has the chance to earn a “Big Thanks Bonus” of $16,000 from PetSmart Charities when 500  of our shelter animals are adopted from the PetSmart locations that house BCHS adoptable pets, which are in Monaca  (115 Wagner Rd.), Cranberry Township (1717 Route 228),  & New Castle (2573 West State St. ) by JANUARY 28, 2018.

Reaching the 500 adoptions goal and receiving the $16,000 grant from PetSmart would go a long way towards helping the BCHS achieve its mission, while improving the quality of life in Beaver County for pets and the people who love them.
