JJ, a male Siberian husky, takes a break from sled dog duties during Winterfest Saturday at the Bartlett Nature Center.
Soft, fluffy Siberian Huskies were the stars of Winterfest Saturday at the Bartlett Nature Center.
Teams of the popular and friendly huskies pulled wheeled sleds on a milelong trail during the dog sledding demonstration, and afterward visitors were able to pet the dogs. The Adopt-A-Husky organization was an event partner.
Mark Grassi, the center’s environmental education manager, said 300 people had visited by the midpoint of the four-hour event.
At the edge of the parking lot, a snowplow truck was part of the fun.
“We’ve got a lot of activities today,” Grassi said. “The Touch-A-Truck is a new feature for Winterfest this year, and kids love trucks.”
Other outdoor activities included snowshoeing and snow painting.
