Hello Northern Pines Sled Dog Race, Iron River, Wisconsin Weight Pullers!
While we are saddened to not be able to enjoy the Northern Pines Sled Dog race this year, the weight pull is still a go! Right now I am hearing reports that conditions are borderline, but we are prepared to host a wheeled pull on carpet if conditions are not favorable for a snow pull. If we host a wheeled pull, this will be the very first W3PO sanctioned wheeled pull in Wisconsin!
In anticipation of this, we have decided to move the match to the back patio of the clubhouse. I’ve attached a map with a star where I plan to set up the chute. If you plan to set up kennels, please set them up on the sides of the building where they are not visible to dogs in the chute. I do not know what direction I will be running the chute – feel free to check in with me Saturday morning if your kennel set is dependent on the direction of the pull or if you are using your car as a kennel. If you’ve previously attended Northern Pines Sled Dog Race, we will be where the mushers would normally park.
The club house will be open to us. If you go in, please welcome the volunteers from Chequamegon Humane Association, who will be hosting an adoption event inside the club house.
And one last reminder – W3PO events always accept same day registration. I will have a limited assortment of loaner harnesses available as well. So feel free to drag your friends and family! See you all soon!
