Have you ever dreamed of spending the weekend with some of the most successful mushers in the world? That dream can become a reality in Fairbanks at the 23rd annual Alaska Dog Mushers International Symposium being held on Oct. 8th – 10th, 2010.
Champion mushers – Rob Downey, Egil Ellis, Hans Gatt, Lance Mackey, Rick Swenson, Lloyd Gilbertson, Arleigh Reynolds, Greg Sellentin, and Mari Hoe-Raitto will be speaking on how they have remained so successful in their racing careers. Master sled maker Dave Klumb will be sharing his skills, and adventure mushers Judy and Devon Currier will share their adventures in the Brooks Range through stories and photographs.
Learn training secrets from the pros – everything you want to know from Mushing 101, to the intricacies of training and feeding your team to reach its full potential.
Join us at Pioneer Park for the symposium weekend and attend the working dog trade fair, ADMA fundraising auction and the Yukon Quest birthday party.
