| Throughout Janaury 2012, Charlotte Wolf, musher and veterinary technician, will do presentations on the history of Minnesota dog sledding, and offer dog sled rides at branch libraries in the Kitchigami Regional Library. Wolf is a big supporter of the few dog sled races that run around the country, like the Iditarod in Alaska and the John Beargrease race along the north shore of Lake Superior here in Minnesota. Her dreams have been realized and she is as passionate as ever about her dogs, mushing and caring for other sled dogs wherever she goes. Program attendees will learn a bit about the dogs, the equipment, the history of dog sledding in Minnesota, and the commands to direct the dogs in their trail runs, and stops. You'll then have the opportunity to ride the sled while Charlotte or one of her assistants, drives the sled, and directs the dogs. What fun on a Minnesota winter afternoon. |
