dogsled races

Last Saturday, I was in Fort Kent for the Can-Am, the annual dog sled races that draw mushers and their teams from far and near. As usual, Fort Kent, the "little community that could," did a fabulous job hosting the races. Hundreds of volunteers, headed by the extraordinary Rita Cannan, worked hard to build a snow road on Main Street and to prepare the trail for the 30, 60, and 250-mile races.
