Musher Karen Land Visits Our School

Three-time Iditarod competitor (2002-2004) Karen Land, from Montana, paid a visit to Barbara Bush Elementary third graders on Monday. What a way to kick-off Iditarod Week! Karen was accompanied by her incredibly tame and loveable seven year- old husky, Borage. She told us such funny stories about Borage and his difficulties learning how to run as part of a team. His early attempts mostly included Borage flipped upside- down skidding along on his back! Later he "decided" he would like to be a lead dog, because the lead dogs got their hot dog snacks first in the long line of his teammates.
