Caribou Carnival and Canadian Championship Dog Derby
Caribou Carnival and Canadian Championship Dog Derby
In addition to sports, the carnival features a Mushers' Ball, a talent show, fireworks, and an ugly truck and dog contest. It is held in Yellowknife, the capital of the Northwest Territories, a vast region that stretches from the northern boundaries of the Canadian provinces to within 500 miles of the North Pole.
