Senior Social- Musher Karen Land & “Noggin”

January 2, 2025 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

Free
Collage of Alaskan Huskies and Musher Karen Land

What does it feel like to ride the runners behind a team of dogs, steering a loaded sled through mountainous terrain, crossing the vast Alaskan tundra, hugging the shoreline of the great Bering Sea? What does it take to care for a team of Alaskan huskies?

2025 is the 100th Anniversary of the 1925 Diphtheria Serum Run!  Remember Balto and Togo and the many heroic huskies and mushers who carried life-saving anti-toxin to the town of Nome, Alaska? Want to learn more?

 Join us as we welcome Musher, Karen Land, when she and Noggin, the Alaskan husky, visit our library.  Land is a writer, public speaker, and three-time participant in the 1000-mile    Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race as well as many other sprint and endurance races in Alaska,  Canada, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, and Maine. Since 2000, Land has traveled to nearly every state with her dog sled, mushing gear, Arctic clothing, and beloved dogs. 

 Not a senior? No worries—all are welcome to attend! Pre-register.
