One lucky gal, Pam Lyford, won the raffle for a 2012-2013 North Valley Trails Pass, and several Costume Contest, Pet Tricks, and Special Category winners took home prize bags stuffed with gift certificates, dog toys and other fun stuff. And the winners are… In the Kids’ Under 12 1K X-C, Tayah Hamilton and her dog “Behrol” won first, and Maren Feltman and “Boone the Peanut Dog” captured second.
