Break The Rules About Learning

There’s no rule that says learning shouldn’t be fun, or that playing can’t be valuable. If there is, that is why Sphero created SPRK Edition to break it. Kids love Sphero, so they turned that love into learning and creation. SPRK makes the skills of the future approachable and practical. And most of all, fun for kids of all ages.

Happy New Year!

The first documented sled dog race was in 1850 from Winnipeg, Manitoba to St. Paul, Minnesota. The Disney movie “Iron Will” features the 1917 version of that remarkable race, which was won by Alberta Campbell, a Métis from Pas, Manitoba.

In 1917 as well, the first established sled dog race was begun in the “lower 48″ in Ashton, Idaho, west of Yellowstone Park.

America’s most famous sled dog race is the Iditarod.  The Iditarod takes place every March in Alaska. It is sometimes called the “Last Great Race.” Although the race is over 1150 miles long. The Iditarod trail goes from Anchorage to Nome.  Teams generally race through blizzards causing whiteout conditions, sub-zero temperatures and gale-force winds which can cause the wind chill to reach −100 °F (−73 °C).

Wisconsin Deer Hunting

Hundreds of thousands of Wisconsinites and visiting non-resident hunters eagerly await the arrival of the 2015 nine-day gun deer season starting tomorrow and runs til Nov. 29.   Deer still in rut across much of the state and snow in the forecast for Northern Wisconsin and Southern Wisconsin.   That will be nice for tracking.  Good luck & have a fun hunt.

Say “Thank You” to our American Veterans

This day is the anniversary of the signing of the armistice, which ended the World War I hostilities between the Allied nations and Germany in 1918. Veterans are thanked for their services to the United States on Veterans Day.  Veterans Day honors those who served the United States in all wars, especially veterans.

Veterans Day, formerly known as Armistice Day, was originally set as a U.S. legal holiday to honor the end of World War I, which officially took place on November 11, 1918.

Veterans Day shows respect for those who were willing to give their lives to the country and to serve their country.
