Sled dog club has many to thank for success of annual auction

To The Daily Sun,

On December 3, the Lakes Region Sled Dog Club held its 16th annual auction to raise funds for the World Championship Sled Dog Derby, scheduled for February 12, 13, 14, 2016. This derby holds the distinction of being the longest running sled dog race in the world. It is with the generous support of the citizens of the Lakes Region and patrons of our auction that we are able to keep sled dog racing alive in Laconia.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who made our auction such a great event and we appreciate your help in keeping the "Greatest Show on Snow" running.
