The Yellowknife Caribou Carnival

This is the start of the Dog Sled races at the 2007 Yellowknife Caribou Carnival.

Here comes the team in the closest lane.

They're getting closer!

Here they are!

Another team from a different spot.

Yet another team going by.

There's a contest called the "Ugly Truck and Dog" contest. As the name of the contest implies, the person with the ugliest truck and dog wins. I don't know if these trucks are actually driveable, but they certainly wouldn't pass a D.O.T. inspection, that's for sure.

Another Ugly Truck and Dog contest entry (this one looks like it has wings!).

There's also a Snow Sculpting contest. This big green turtle was one of the entries.

Another Snow Sculpting contest entry was this mouse in a big block of cheese. It was actually pretty warm during the Carnival this year. I think this sculpture was starting to melt.

This was the winning entry, which was the one that Anne voted for I believe.
