Our TV Debut


Just a couple of weeks ago, a gentleman from Michigan contacted us to see if we would be interested in being a part of a TV promotion for Northwestern Ontario. He and his brother own a television show called Real Outdoors/Ontario which has 50 million viewers in the U.S. The Ontario government subsidized him to come shoot some footage of winter outdoor activities and adventures in our neck of the woods. Brian had heard we had a dog sled trip business and had always wanted to do some dog sledding himself. Of course we were ecstatic to have our business put on TV, but the clincher was that it would be free advertising for us.

So, Brian and his lovely wife Patty came to stay with us for three days. What a wonderful time we shared together, visiting and working on the project! We are not sure yet when the show will be aired on stations in the U.S., but it should be sometime soon in March.

The photo above is of Brian taping John and Joanna in the back part of our dog yard as they shared the story of how we got into dogs in the first place. This year we have gotten quite a few more dog sledding guests than any of the previous years for which we are thankful. It is so fun to meet new people and take them on an adventure of a lifetime.
