Mush! with Noggin, the Sled Dog

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, visit Defiance Public Library on June 4 at 6PM. Free and open to all; no registration needed.

Land will also stop by Hicksville’s Johnson Memorial Library at 10:30 AM, and Sherwood Branch at 1PM! These presentations are sponsored by the Friends of DPL, JML, & SBL.
