Each year the IPSSSDR invites host communities to send two students to represent their towns in the Junior Stage Stop, a short exhibition fun run that also gives the kids a hands-on experience of community service.

The Junior Stage Stop is at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 2, at the finish line of the IPSSSDR at the North Slope Road Trailhead 30 miles south of Evanston on the Mirror Lake Scenic Byway, Highway 150.

Five of the 17 junior mushers from Wyoming are from Uinta County. They are

Cameo Spray and Brock Quinney, both from Lyman; and Bailey Barker, Noah VanVleet and Charles Winfield from Evanston.
