The Magic of Dogsledding
for the Young and Young at Heart
set for Tuesday, February 7, 6:30 p.m., Peter White Public Library Community Room
A multimedia presentation by children’s author/sled dog musher Jackie Winkowski, musher Lisa Dietzen, and photographer Aladino Mandoli is set for Tuesday, February 7, 2012, 6:30 p.m., in the Peter White Public Library Community Room. Admission is free, and there will be prize drawings, including a dog sledding adventure.
Jackie Winkowski will read and present slides from her sled dog books Miki’s Challenge, Miki’s Race, and her newest, Promise of the White Dog. Following the presentation there will be a book signing, during which books can be autographed with the paw print of lead dog Miki, who will be present. The books are available locally and through amazon.com. A portion of book sales during the program will be donated to the Upper Peninsula Sled Dog Association.
Lisa Dietzen, an industrial technology major at NMU, will present videos and slides and discuss sources of inspiration, achieving goals, and realizing dreams. Dietzen dreamed of being a musher since childhood, with the goal of someday running the Iditarod. A veteran of two Jack Pine 30s, the Copper Dog 35, and the Tahquamenon Country Race, this season Dietzen is running out of the Team Evergreen Kennel in Skandia. She is entered in the Apostle Islands, Midnight Run, and Copperdog 150 sled dog races.
Aladino Mandoli of Ishpeming will present a sampling of his stunning dog sledding photography. He has combined his interest in outdoor sports with his talent in photography. He has attended almost every UP200 race, both Copper Dog 150 races, and the 2012 Tahquamenon Country Sled Dog Race. He enjoys sharing his interest with others.
