Reader support matters more than ever
We're in the final stretch of our summer campaign. Our goal is to raise $25,000 by August 9 to support the journalism our community relies on. Reader support is helping shape the future of local news.
I’ve always wanted a team of sled dogs. Just picture it: On those snowy mornings when the highways are jam-packed with skidding motorists attempting to navigate their way to work in a blizzard, my dogs and I would sail swiftly and majestically past the congestion, with me shouting “Mush!” over the din of the traffic.
Of course, I’m not sure what I’d do with an entire team of dogs the rest of the year, but at least I can fantasize at today’s Grand County Sled Dog Classic, which includes races for one- and two-dog teams as well as four-, six- and eight-dog sprints, plus much more. The winning purse is $1,000 minimum, so head up to Granby — 85 miles west of Denver on U.S. Highway 40 — to catch the races. Visit www.rmsdc.com/granby.html for more information.
