Laura Neese – Sled Dog Musher Presentation
May 3, 2019
7:00pm
Licking Valley High School Auditorium
Join Newark native, Laura Neese and her phenomenal lead dog Maple as she shares her adventures and challenges of training and racing her team of Alaskan Huskies. At 22 years of age, Laura has already completed three 1,000 mile sled dog races. In February 2018, Laura raced in the 1,000 mile Yukon Quest International Sled Dog Race completing it in 3rd place with her best finish yet. She was the only woman to finish the challenging race that year, where mushers some days endured temperatures of 50 degrees below zero. In 2019, Laura’s race season was turned upside down when supplies to be sent along the 1,000 mile trail were spoiled before her race began. Laura will share her experiences with training and racing sled dogs and how having a positive outlook helps not only on the trail but when facing unseen challenges that happen in life, persevering when plans need to be changed, and moving ahead with enthusiasm and optimism. Come discover some of the great sled dog races that are offered in the lower 48 states as Laura shares about preparing for, traveling to, and racing in a few of these great events during the 2019 winter.

4-H Special Needs Camp
Special Needs Camp is July 27-29, 2018
“4-H is for everyone,” but sometimes accessibility issues deny youth with multiple handicaps the opportunity to attend camp. In Ohio, a statewide 4-H camp is held at Canter’s Cave 4-H Camp in Jackson, Ohio for multiple handicapped youth and their caregivers. Being a typical kid is what Camp is all about and it is no different for special needs youth. Being handicapped does not mean you do not want to do all the things that typical children do.
Join us as we “Find the Humor in Life” this summer at Canter’s Cave! Life sometimes is hard, but being able to find a reason to laugh makes everything better!
• When: July 27-29, 2018
• Check-in time: 3:00-3:30 on Friday, July 27 @ the Main Lodge (Cartoon Central)
• Check-out time: 11:30 a.m. on Sunday, July 29
• Youth fee: $80.00
• Caregiver fee: $40.00 for the camp
