HANCOCK -- Wonder how dogsledding, fishing and mining are related? Attend the event below and learn how the Mushing to Save Bristol Bay tour that's hit the Midwest this winter links them.
Tim Osmar, and Monica Zappa, two Alaskan dog mushers, have decked their sleds, truck and dog coats and traveled thousands of miles to bring attention to the dangers to Bristol Bay, Alaska, from a colossal open pit mining proposal called Pebble Mine.
