MUSH with Noggin, the Sled Dog! (and her human)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?
Did you know… 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? Musher, Karen Land, will cover these subjects and more when she and Noggin, the Alaskan husky, visit the Ogden Library, on Saturday, March 15,2025, at 11:0O AM.
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, giving over a thousand school and public library presentations.
“Tethered to my string of dogs, trusty leaders find the trail, together we are free…”
—from “Into the Northern Lights,” lyrics by Karen Land
