The Seventh Annual Chinook Winter Carnival will be held this year on January 26th & 27th. The Tamworth Outing Club will have groomed trails for us to run our teams in Wonalancet in the Hemengway State Forest all weekend. We plan to attend the New England Sled Dog races in Tamworth.

The suggested main stay is the Tamworth Inn who will allow us to keep our Chinooks at the inn. Call 1-800-642-7352. The alternate stay is the Sunny Brook cottages, Route 16, Conway, NH.
