Two Rivers Dog Mushers Association held their annual Valley Funale sled dog races yesterday at Pleasant Valley Store. Aliy and Allen were there as race support crew and dog handlers. There were adult races, a junior race and a kids race. It was a gorgeous day with blue skies and warm Spring temperatures.
SP Kennel even brought home the GOLD! Jacob (Allen and Aliy’s grandson), Lydia and Chemo ran the Kids Race with the fastest time. Congrats to all the racers who competed. A good time had by all!
Race intensity: Lydia, Chemo and Jacob get it done!; Awards Ceremony.
Look at Jacob's concentration. He is so focused!
Congratulations and thanks for sharing!!

Way to go Jacob! Getting the careers of the five next generation mushers off to a great start! Looks like it was a great family day. Glad everyone enjoyed themselves.
Now that's what I call a rock star race crew.
Ya'll are great ambassadors for the sport. Looks like there could be a future Quest and Iditarod racer coming along there.
Wow!!!
Go Jacob!!! With slick Chemo and fast Lydia you had a couple of strong doggies!!!
Woof!!!
Awesome!!! Great handlers, too!!!
Now, that really looked like FUN!!! Congratulations to Jacob, Lydia and Chemo!!!
Ps Jacob has a very strong resemblance to Allen!!! Another 'All Star Musher' in the making!!! 😍😉😃
Such determination on Jacob's face, looks like a serious future contender! Congrats Jacob! Well done SP Kennel.
Congrats Jacob, Lydia, & Chemo. Great pictures. Looks like a fun time. I am blown away Aliy & Allen that you are in shirtsleeves with snow on the ground.
I always enjoy seeing how your community celebrates the end of the season with the Funale festivities! Way to go Jacob, Lydia and Chemo Dawg!! Well done! Hope the snow sticks around a little while longer for you all to enjoy!!
Jacob, Lydia and Chemo congratulations!
I saw the race on the Two Rivers Facebook page and wondered if SP Kennels would be represented… OF COURSE! Great job! The kids race sounds like so much fun. I'd love to be on this pit crew!
Woohoo! How fun. Great job Jacob.
Looking at Jacob's face as he holds his award while wearing his medal made my day .. the proud grandparents are too bad either.
Congratulations Jacob, Lydia and Chemo; great job racing.
What a wonderful family this truly is, so inspirational to us all.
