TAMWORTH — It was a dog-gone good day in Tamworth on Saturday, with dozens of people — and their canine companions — turning out for the official unveiling ceremony for the bronze, life-size statue of Chinook, the town's famous sled dog and father of the designated New Hampshire state breed, on the Tamworth History Center lawn.
THC Board Co-Chair Betsy Loughran welcomed attendees, who clustered around the temporarily blanket-covered statue, thanking the community for their support. According to board members, who used local fundraising efforts to create the statue, it was one of the fastest fundraising goals they've ever reached.
