Congratulating Jesse Terry, Iditarod Rookie of the Year

The Municipality of Sioux Lookout, Sioux Lookout Chamber of Commerce, and K-Net came together to organize a Community Meet and Greet on April 12 at the Sioux Lookout Recreation Centre to congratulate Jesse Terry, this year’s Rookie of the Year at the 54th running of the Iditarod.
Terry completed the 1000 mile sled dog race across Alaska in 10 days, 13 hours, 36 minutes, 3 seconds, finishing 14th overall.
Terry, a proud member of Lac Seul First Nation and a resident of Sioux Lookout, attended the meet and greet with his wife, fellow musher Mary England, members of his family, and the two lead dogs he completed the Iditarod with, Moonwatcher and Jitterbug.
Terry and England finished first and second at the Canadian Challenge Sled Dog Race in February, representing their kennel, On The Land Sled Dogs.
“It’s really great,” Terry said of the Meet and Greet. “It makes us really proud and happy to be representing Sioux Lookout and to be doing what we love, to have such huge support behind us really means a lot to Mary and I. We just want to say thanks to everyone for the support and encouragement as we did this really big winter for us.’
