Master sled builder, Bernie Willis is lending them several dogsleds, and teams of 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders are going to pull the towlines as they make their way to the hotel to sing Iditarod songs for the guests and Iditarod committee members. Each class will be pulling a “Celebrity Rider.” They will leave Northwood at around 1:15 pm and arrive at the Millennium about 1:40-1:50.
