Worldchampionship Dog Sled Races at Trapper's Festival

I'm actually not sure if these were the "actual" World Championship Dogsled Races, but that's what the sign said.

Last week was Trapper's Festival in The Pas.... 

We as a family didn't take in too many of the activities...outdoors with 4 "littles".....somehow we thought we would do better next year...ya, with 5 "littles".

But we did take in the Saturday morning Dogsled races.

We are dogless dog lovers. 

Dogs,  we've had, and dogs we will have. Not sure if it will be a whole team's worth. Perhaps we should get the kid's to run and pull the dog. Sad Joke!

Years ago I did try my hand or should I say my skis, at skijoring.  I hope to do that again one day! Mom and Dad talk of the rush of driving dog sleds in their late teens/early twenties.

Watching, we could feel the exhilaration of the dogs,  their joy of the chase.
Smells fresh.
