Fall Warm-Up:
September 21st, 22nd, Saturday and Sunday.
Info from Maggie: Fall warm up will be a chance to run dogs on Camp Koinonia trails, catch up with friends and hopefully make some new friends. There will be a gear swap, "on-by" practice, a potluck (Saturday about 6pm). I will set up some other activities.
Gear swap items so far: harnesses, snow hooks, mega brake, skijoring belt & lines, "see me" vest, dog dishes, hats, gloves, mittens, parka, rain gear, rubber boots, and lots of books.
