Winter Festival

  • Wildlife Science Center 22830 Sunrise Road Northeast Stacy, MN, 55079 United States (map)

Discover the world of the dog sledder during a day of winter fun at the Wildlife Science Center. Mushers and their dog teams will be on-hand to meet and inform participants about this incredible winter sport. The day's activities include demonstrations by local experts on equipment and techniques, a variety of vendors selling their wares, campfires, and the opportunity to see and learn about the Wildlife Science Center's amazing animals. Hungry? Acme Chicken Bowls will be on site to keep our bellies warm, and Bent Brewstillery will be offering beverages. Feel free to bring your own dog but please bring a leash.

At 2:00 pm, join us for “Songs and Stories of Siberian Huskies, Sledding with Dogs, and Developing a Successful Relationship with Your Little Canine Trail Buddy,” a presentation by musher Patti and John & Bob from the Workin’ Dogs band.
