Year end banquet and awards ceremony was held at the Dillon Dam Brewery.  Everyone enjoyed a fine lunch and socializing with our mushing friends.  Year end awards were handed out and the ballots counted for Board of Director positions.  Thanks to outgoing Board members Joan and Allan for all your hard work and welcome to new members Lindsey and Liz as well as our returning members.  The Board is always available if you have ideas or concerns about the club.  Year-end points have been figured, CLICK HERE to see the summary of points.

La Plata Paw update:   Race Organizer Sandy Moore created a GREAT new race for the club.  From Sandy: We had a wonderful race weekend. Fourteen racers enjoyed outstanding snow conditions, a super friendly and appreciative town, and $1000 purse. In addition, area merchants teamed up to send each racer home with $40 cash for gas.  Six of the racers were newcomers to the sport and appear to be hooked.  CLICK HERE for results.
