Unfortunately, the Moose Dropping Festival has been put on hold the last couple of years. There is an effort to get it going again. An amusing side note on that ..... it “celebrates / commemerates” the small round pellets moose excrete during the winter months..... thus the “Moose Dropping”...... I have been told that several years ago, PETA interpreted the name literally meaning the “dropping of moose” and stormed into town demanding this inhumane practice be stopped. Not sure if that story is true, but in this crazy world unfortunately it is believable.
