FRYEBURG – The International Sled Dog Racing Association has awarded the Greater Bridgton Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce Musher’s Bowl with the designation of International Event of the Year.

This is the first time a Maine race has been honored by the association. The award is given to events representing various race classes. Participants are asked to critique program areas that consider purse, trail conditions, caliber of the contestants, mileage, officiating and overall organization of the event.

This event was held in Fryeburg at the Fryeburg Fairgrounds and produced by both the Down East Sled Dog Club and the Greater Bridgton Chamber of Commerce. Event Chairman Mike Friedman, a Bridgton attorney and Lovell resident, stated that “we were chosen for this honor due to the quality of the event and the strength of the racing participants. We had world-class athletes competing at the Fryeburg Fairgrounds in Fryeburg, Maine.”

The Musher’s Bowl is an event that partners with the annual winter carnival held in Bridgton. The annual awards ceremony for the association will be held June 20 to 22 in Cleveland, Ohio.
