Chinook Summer Festival

June 29th - July 1st, 2001 in Wonalancet NH

Chinook owners and their Chinooks returned to their Chinook roots in Wonalancet, NH for a celebration of lthe Chinook breed this summer.

Events kicked off at the Remick Museum that had an exhibit of the history of sled dogs in the region. The Perry Greene Kennel put on display Chinook's last harness brought back from Little America and other harnesses.

A tour of the Chinook Trail followed, and Chinook owners toured the Union Chapel, visited Walden's graveside, Antler House, Wonalancet Farm and Chinook Kennels.

Special thanks go to the Morton family for opening the Walden properties for a once in a lifetime look at where Walden and the great Chinook lived.

Chinook owners also became the first official visitors at Chinook Kennels, now the Chinook Heritage Foundation.

After the tour everyone met at the Tamworth Inn for a group dinner.

Thank you to the Remick Museum, Tamworth Historical Society, David Bowles (Union Chapel), George Cook (Chinook Kennels), and the Tamworth Inn for a warm welcome and help making the Summer Festival such a success.
