The Methow Valley Doggie Dash

An annual six legged race with a costume contest held at the Town Trailhead in Winthrop. There are divisions for kids and adults and big dogs, little dogs and very big dogs. Yesterday's snow conditions were less than desirable however it may have given the competitors a more even playing field, so to speak.
