What's Happening For the Month of March

An Amazing Event - Don't Miss Out!

Mush with Noggin

Have you ever wondered…

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?

Could my dog be a sled dog, too?

Musher Karen Land will answer these questions and more. When she and Noggin, the Alaskan husky, come to Conway on March 11th

at 6:00 pm.

Karen Land will bring her Iditarod dog sled, mushing gear, Arctic clothing, and her beloved dogs!

Iditarod Trail Page

Karen Land is a writer, public speaker, and three-time participant in the 1000-mile Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. Karen has also participated in other sprint & endurance races in Alaska, Canada, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, and Maine.

Since 2000, Karen Land has traveled to nearly every state giving over a thousand school and public library presentations.

This program is sponsored by and is part of the Friends of the Conway Public Library Program Series.
