ENOUGH

heat, here it is September 1st.. 92 degrees today and same forecast for tomorrow, its 9:30 pm and still 81 Degrees! Some relief in site with a low for Sunday of 45 degrees.
 Bought a used 12 dog trailer 
needs a bit of spiffing up around the edges, but basically good to go, with the 6 hole box we have to go on the pick up we now would be able to haul all our dogs comfortably and simply, A concern I have had as far as an emergency evacuation situation.... although I cannot think of any circumstance with a remote possibility that would require it from our location... Better to be prepared.
In their first season running in the sprint 4-dog sport class the Seppness A Litter (Albert, Alexei, Argus and Avery) garnered enough points in the North Star Championship Points program (NSCP) to be awarded the Gold medal!  North Star Sleddog club news letter  
We made the front page of the local paper AND  the local TV station with a story on our participation in the MUSH FOR A CURE EVENT, we raise over 700.00 for breast cancer research, with  the event bringing in over 30,000.00 dollars it was the largest total to date and we had a blast doing our part and looking forward to running the gunflint trail again this March   mushing for a cure.     
 All good references as to why some one might want to sponsor our team,  have an outline for a pitch for such inquires put together, Need to refine and put a packet together we do have a verbal commitment from our meat supplier to be a sponsor,  and now that we have done some basic outings and garnered that exposure we feel comfortable asking sponsors for cash and or free services in that we have something to offer as far as proven-positive exposure for there product or service.  8-))
