Come for a day of old-fashioned fun, beginning with a Parade at 10 am. There will be music and vendors in the park all day, a soap box derby around 11 am, auction at 1 pm; games and bounce houses for kids; street drawings by budding artists; and an amazing day of fun for all.

In February of 2014 the North Country Mushers hosted the first Great North Woods Sled Dog Challenge in Colebrook, NH. Our inaugural race was a great success and in 2015 the race increased to a three day, multi-location stage race.
Stage racing, a long-time popular concept in the west, is a series of shorter races that are hosted by a different community each day. Teams and mushers rest overnight between stages in the hosting towns, bringing lucrative business to local eateries, pubs, shops and lodging establishments. The cumulative times of each stage of the race are added together to determine the final winner of the entire race.
The 2018 race includes a 10 dog class, a 6 dog class and a skijor class (1-2 dogs), all with stages between 18-30 miles.
Note: This schedule is tentative and may be changed closer to the race!

The Swift Diamond Riders’ SnoDeo started in 1993 as a fundraiser for the Swift Diamond Riders Snowmobile Club and as a way to bring snowmobilers together near the end of the season to try out the latest and greatest snowmobiles being offered by Arctic Cat, Polaris, Ski-Doo and Yamaha. The SnoDeo, based behind the Swift Diamond Riders’ Snowmobile Club at 978 Diamond Pond Road, Stewartstown, NH, has grown into one of the Northeast’s premier snowmobile event — drawing an average of 6,000 snowmobile enthusiasts from all over New England and Southern Quebec over the two days of the event.
