Our 2026 Winter Carnival and Hiawatha Heritage Dog Sled Race was a huge success drawing Mushers and attendees from across the tri-states and as far away as Alaska!
None of what happened could have been possible without our wonderful support network of Sponsors, Volunteers, Mushers, and Participants. Over 230 folks came from our local communities and across the country to participate and contribute.
We want to recognize all the individuals who contributed to our success. Attached link is our full back-page ad that will run in the Manistique Advisor in coming weeks. Unfortunately, many of our volunteers are unnamed and therefore not recognized here-in but please know we truly appreciate your support!
We also want to announce that our Winter Carnival and Hiawatha Heritage Dog Sled Race Centennial Celebration will be held January 29-31, 2027. Book your cabins now as next year’s events will be bigger and better than anything so far. To keep with the 100-year Club celebration, we will have a dog sled race with mushers dressed in period apparel to recreate a 1927’s theme. We are also looking into potential for tethered hot air ballon rides so stay tuned for further updates.
