      Our Iditarod presentations feature a ten to twelve minute opening video filmed on the Iditarod Trail and focus on the Dream a Dream Dog Team preparing and racing the Iditarod. These great videos are set to music with voice over commentary. The dogs tell their story of the Race. These videos are incredibly fun and educational to watch. Some of the titles are: Raz Ma Taz about our hyper active leader who loves racing the Iditarod; Doc’s Iditarod Dream a true story about our deaf lead dog; or Trouble on the Iditarod Trail about our dog named after her personality.

      Vern weaves in the history of sleddogs from early native use, gold rush use, the famous Serum run to Nome during the 1925 diphtheria epidemic-the focus is on the husky. The uniqueness of the Iditarod from the standpoint of length, diversity of competion and the NO HELP rule are highlights. Training and care of Iditarod dogs is demonstrated. The logistics of the race and fooddrops, checkpoints, veterinarian care, the Iditarod Air Force and trail conditions inspire questions. Race strategy and the changes to the Iditarod Race Vern has seen in his twenty five years of racing elicit more dialogue. Clothing and survival gear along with sleds and equipment are topics that are backed up with demonstrations. Stories from the trail are exciting and fun. Tough questions are considered and answererd. We enjoy our guests and strive to make this a memorable stop.
