Minneapolis, MN (5/18/2009) - Polaris
Industries today announced the company is working
with West Virginia Dealers, Keefer's and Route
119
Powersports, to provide two RANGER Side-by-Side
vehicles to EMS and other rescue services so
they can carry water and help families affected
by the flooding. Pennsylvania dealership, Hernley's,
also has joined the cause and sent a group of
people with relief packages to help with the
clean up.
"What has happened in southern West
Virginia is a great tragedy," said Daniel
Storm, district sales manager for Polaris.
"The dealerships are happy to help support
an area who has been highly supportive of
the sport of ATV riding. We hope the efforts
can help this community get back on their
feet quicker."
One of the hardest areas hit was Gilbert,
WV, home of the Hatfield McCoy National Trailfest.
The flood was the largest natural disaster
in the history of the town with approximately
4000 homes sustaining significant damage or
completely destroyed in the county. Four other
counties in both West Virginia and Eastern
Kentucky also sustained significant dwelling
& business losses.
