Event Details
2025 was the 100th Anniversary of the 1925 Diphtheria Epidemic Serum Run! Remember Balto and Togo and the many heroic dogs and mushers who traveled through snow, ice, and countless dangers to carry life-saving anti-toxin to the town of Nome, Alaska? You could meet a dog who ran that very same trail!
Musher, Karen Land, will cover these subjects and more when she and her pal Noggin, the Alaskan husky, visit LaGrange Memorial Library on January 12th from 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM and 6 PM - 7 PM (two sessions!).
Land is a writer, public speaker, and three-time participant in the 1000-mile Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race as well as many other sprint and endurance races in Alaska, Canada, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, and Maine. Since 2000, Land has traveled to nearly every state with her dog sled, mushing gear, Arctic clothing, and beloved dogs, giving over a thousand school and public library presentations.
This event is FREE and open to all community members. We hope to see you there!
