It’s March! What a warm way to end to February. Felt like spring! No snow and warm weather. As far as I know the Beargrease sled dog marathon is still on March 2nd. We will need volunteers for that. If you are volunteering you can let me know if you have any info for the…
Happy New Year! As we roll into 2025 we have many things that I’m excited about. I will be tasking those of you who coordinate and run events to put together a brief description, tools you use, contacts for setting up the events, etc. I want to make a database on our website of all…

Winter Field Day was 37 degrees and the only snow in sight was a 3” high…
Greetings to all, I hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I’d like to start off this message thanking Benton for all he did for the club over the last 5 years. He was a great president and leaves large shoes to be filled. We wouldn’t be where we are today without his strong leadership.…
