IPSSSDR KICKED OFF JANUARY 25 — CONTINUES THROUGH FEBRUARY 2

The International Pedigree Stage Stop Sled Dog Race (IPSSSDR) kicked off on January 25, 2013 in Jackson, as teams mushed through the town’s streets.  Teams are now traveling across nine other communities over the next eight days racing through nine other towns before finishing on February 2. Towns welcome mushers and canine competitors with musher meet-and-greets, Dutch oven dinners, pooch parades and ice sculpture splendors. Spectators need only bundle up for the formidably frosty fun and prepare to quaff cocoa as they catch the paw-pounding action amid breathtaking mountain vistas.  For more information, call 307.734.1163 or visit www.wyomingstagestop.org for a complete schedule of events.
