2007 Lowell Winterfest to Celebrate the Wonders of Winter
February 9-10 in Downtown Lowell
Event includes live entertainment, family activities and National Human Dogsled Championships
(Lowell, MA) – Families from around New England can celebrate the wonders of winter at Lowell’s Annual Winterfest Celebration, Friday and Saturday, February 9-10, in downtown Lowell. This year’s event includes free ice skating, kids entertainment, live music, fireworks, arts and crafts, a soup bowl competition and the crowd pleasing favorite – the National Human Dogsled Championships.
Lowell’s National Human Dog Sled Championship is a staple of Lowell’s annual Winterfest celebration. More than 32 sleigh teams will compete for title of “top dog” as they race to the finish down 200 yards of icy tundra. Each team consists of 6 people. A rider, a musher, and four people who pull the sled. Two teams race at a time. And if that’s not funny enough, many teams compete in full costume. In years past there have been cave men, penguins and football players among the costumed competitors.
