If you only make it to one Winter Carnival a year, the Dorset Snowball should certainly be high up on your list. You never know exactly what you're going to find wandering along the Dorset main street on Snowball Day -- this year, the Nordic Inn owners brought two of their llamas (one of them a 1 1/2 week old baby, who was a great hit with the kids!)
Sleigh rides behind Anderson's huge patient team of Belgians made travel from end to end of town just plain fun.
And by the rink, you could meet with a Wildlife Caller at the top of his game. Steve Morrin hails from Powassan. And he's on a friendly chatting basis with darn near every critter living in these parts. With an audience of youngsters hanging on every sound he made, Steve walked the audience through everything from loon calls to angry bears, tossed in turkeys, wood-ducks and lovesick moose. And then he got the kids into the act.
Did you know that a saw-whet owl gets its name because it sounds like a saw being sharpened (whetted)?
When he's at home, Steve sells footwear for people who don't spend much time on pavement, and teaches everything for the great outdoors from pleasure craft operation to correct gun handling. You can check out his site at Brushey's
