MUSH with Noggin, the Sled Dog! (and her human)
Have you everwondered… 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 BeringSea? What does it take to care for ateam 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 andmushers who carried life-saving anti-toxin to the town of Nome, Alaska? Want tolearn more? Musher, Karen Land, will cover these subjects and more when she andNoggin, the Alaskan husky, visit the Ogden Library, on Saturday, March 15,2025, at 11:0O AM.

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, trustyleaders find the trail, together we are free…”
