ADOPT-A-MUSHER PROGRAM

 

     Sandwich residents have generously volunteered to open their homes and are willing to “adopt” a musher for the weekend. There will be a limited number of homes available with the exact count not known until late January. This program has proven to be very successful and relies on mushers being on their best behavior so that it may continue. Homes will be assigned on a first come, first served basis. YOU MUST CHECK THE APPROPRIATE BOX ON YOUR ENTRY FORM AND GET IT TO THE RACE SECRETARY NO LATER THAN FEBRUARY 14, 2001. If you have taken part in this program in previous years and have , or will be, making arrangements to stay with the same family, please indicate this on your entry form.
