'Means everything to me': Labrador dog sled race won by founder's nephew
Twenty years after his uncle passed away, Carl Rumbolt nabbed first place in the Labrador dog sledding competition named in his honour.
"This is a race that I always wanted to win ever since they started it," Rumbolt said of the Eric Rumbolt Memorial Dog Sled Race. He claimed first place over the weekend.
"Means everything to me. The dogs are my life."
Eric Rumbolt was born in 1949 and died from cancer in 2001. He was looked at by many in Labrador as being one of the people who kept the dog sledding tradition alive in southern Labrador, after many drivers moved from dog teams to snowmobiles.
