CHINOOK DOG CLUB
OF AMERICA
CELEBRATES 14 YEARS AND THE
Tamworth Winter Carnival Tamworth, New Hampshire February 2-4, 2007
WINTER CARNIVAL 2007 FINALLY! SNOW! After two years of “tough sledding” mother nature finally cooperated and dumped about 10 inches of powdery snow just before the winter carnival. The storm created quite a travel mess and cut down on the publics attendance. There was no lack of enthusiasm and we had 30 Chinooks and their families help out with rides and two rings. Hickory Hill Rastro “King Daddy” made his debut and did not disappoint as he pulled a childs sled on the groomed loop to the cheers of his riders and his puppy owners. Hooked up with his son Chester they gave a ride to the Clapps from Rockport, ME. Hooked up with his daughter Madawaska lets just say it was interesting! John & Lesley Donais gave rides on the second loop and it was wonderful to see their tem flying across the Remick property. Dave and Marie Borofka and fionn helped with the rides also. Many thanks to all of you who came either with your Chinooks or to just support the event. The village of Tamworth appreciates our support and the “return of the Chinook.” Later we enjoyed and viewed the display that the Tamworth Historical Society has been building over the years. It is a wonderful collection of the history of sled dogs in the Tamworth region. Later we all enjoyed a dinner at the Tamworth Inn and socialized late in the evening. The 2008 Chinook and Tamworth Winter Carnival has been set for Saturday February 9th. I hope to see you all there for our annual trip back in time. Rick Skoglund
