Karen Land and Noggin the Sled Dog

The Greensburg Decatur County Public Library is excited to welcome writer, public-speaker,
and Musher, Karen Land, as she discusses her experiences as a three-time participant in the
1000-mile Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race and as a competitor in many other sprint and endurance
races across Alaska, Canada, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, and Maine. This family-friendly
program – Karen Land and Noggin the Sled Dog – will be held on the Library Patio on
Monday, June 30th at 5:30 PM.
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? Karen Land will
answer these questions and more when she and Noggin, the Alaskan husky, visit the Greensburg
Decatur County Public Library.
Since 2000, Land has traveled to nearly every state with her Iditarod dog sled, mushing gear,
Arctic clothing, and beloved dogs, giving over a thousand school and public library
presentations.
Make sure to bring your own chair or blanket! No registration is required to attend this family
program.
