‘Dog Days of Winter’ dogsledding presentation at the ND Heritage Center & State Museum
BISMARCK, N.D. – Embrace the spirit of winter at “Dog Days of Winter,” Sunday, Feb. 16, 2-3:30 p.m. at the North Dakota Heritage Center & State Museum in Bismarck. This free family-friendly event is open to all ages. Dogsledder Jasmyn Hatlestad will share her journey into the world of dogsledding in a captivating presentation in the Russell Reid Auditorium.
Growing up in Roseau, Minnesota, Hatlestad’s passion for animals led her to convince her parents to get her first husky—sparking a lifelong love for the sport. While teaching herself how to race with the support of family and friends, she developed a deep bond with her dogs. Now a law enforcement officer, she continues to run her huskies for fun.
Hatlestad will discuss how she got started, the training process, essential gear, race types, and favorite memories—complete with photos. Weather permitting, attendees will have the opportunity to interact with sled dogs after the presentation.
