MUSH! with Noggin, the Alaskan Sled Dog (and her human)!
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 in this exciting, interactive presentation for all ages.
Program made possible with a generous grant from the Wright Library Foundation.
