SHARON SPRINGS — Run By Dogs Education & Excursions of Sharon Springs will offer free Sled Dog Rides and an educational talk to follow at two local Libraries this winter season! 

On Saturday, March 14th from 11-12:30 at Sharon Springs Free Library and then on Saturday, March 21st from 11-12 PM at the Springfield Library, any and all ages are welcome to come out and meet the sled dogs and enjoy an educational talk by Owner, Musher, Dog Trainer, & Author Kate Walrath. For these separate events, children ages 2-10 will be invited to try a short sled ride pulled by two leashed dogs, with the talk to follow!

These upcoming experiences are an excellent way for children to learn all about sled dogs, mushing, and ask questions too! It has been quite the snowy winter and in an exclusive interview, Walrath said, “Celebrate the best snow season we've had in years! The sled dogs will be waiting to see you all!” 

As an active and integral part of the Sharon Springs Community, Walrath and her family (and sled dogs too) often participate in, and even offer their own, like educational field trips.

In addition to dog sledding, Run By Dogs also offers family dog training, AKC Certification & STAR Puppies Certification, dog sledding excursions, educational programs, and boarding. Find out more at runbydogs.com.

Mark your calendars for these fun and educational event opportunities coming up in March at the Sharon Springs Free Library (129 Main Street Sharon Springs, NY 13459) and then the Springfield Library (129 Co Rd 29A, Springfield Center, NY 13468). For more information please call the Sharon Springs Free Library at (518) 284-3126.
