Outdoors with a Big Top circus of animals

Pretty day for Animal Shelter benefit

By EXPRESS STAFF

And they’re off! Racers head down the course Sunday in the annual Paw ‘n’ Pole cross-country skiing and snowshoeing race to benefit the Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley. Left: The shelter’s mascot makes friends with one of the happy canine racers.

Sunday was a great day for the 27th annual Paw ‘n’ Pole cross-country skiing and snowshoeing event co-chaired by Doran Key and Bobby Noyes. In keeping with tradition, the Sun God smiled brightly on the Animal Shelter fundraiser. Thirty human and 30 canine racers turned the Sun Valley Gun Club into a race arena of a different color—multiple colors, to be precise. The costume theme, “It’s a Three Ringed Circus,” turned the site into a rainbow of craziness worthy of the Paw ‘n’ Pole. One lucky gal, Pam Lyford, won the raffle for a 2012-13 North Valley Trails pass. On cross-country skis in the kids’ 1-kilometer event, Tayah Hamilton and “Behrol” captured first place. Maren Feltman and “Boone the Peanut Dog” were second. Sarah Feltman and “Boone the Tiger Dog,” and Natalee Morse and “Delvie Dog,” earned honorary silver/bronze medals for doing the kids course in snowshoes. Laurie Breedveld and “Ranger” won the 4k race in 12:00. Doran Key and “Buddy” topped 1k racers in 4:17. Isabelle Moore and “Daisy” and Greg Moore and “Shelter Dog” tied for the 1k snowshoe lead in 10:01.
