Hello Eagle Cap Extreme volunteers,
Only 9 days until the start of the race. It's almost showtime!
Our last meeting before the race start will be at 6:30pm on Monday, January 11th at the Joseph Community Center (Race Central).
The agenda is simple. We will discuss the mushers entered, the events planned for the week, any needs that need to be taken care of, and any other last minute items that need to be addressed.
We can still use a few more items for our auction during the Spirit of the Sled Dog Banquet on Saturday evening. We have both a live and silent auction. The live auction is limited to a small number of items. If you have any items you would like to donate for the auction, please contact Doug Buska at 541-432-0349 (or email dbuska@wildblue.net).
Thank you to everyone who helps to make this exciting event happen!

Hello Friends of Fishtrap,
The new year brings a full docket for Fishtrap. So let’s jump right in. But first, a note: Fishtrap now has a blog at http://fishtrapnews.blogspot.com, and a Facebook page. You can also access either from Fishtrap’s website. OK, on with it:
THE BIG READ
The Big Read, on the book To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, starts Monday, January 11, with 7 pm screenings of the film Capote in three Wallowa County venues: Mutiny Brewing in Joseph, Fishtrap’s Coffin House in Enterprise, and the Public Library in Wallowa. Admission by donation. Why Capote? Because Harper Lee grew up with Truman Capote, and they influenced each other’s work.
About the film: Capote (2005, R). 114 min. Truman Capote, played by Oscar nominated Phillip Seymore Hoffman, researches his book In Cold Blood. Nelle Harper Lee, a childhood friend of Capote’s, plays a major role in the film, accompanying him to the small Kansas town where a multiple homicide occurred.
Watching the film should warm people up for the Kick-Off event on the following evening. On Tuesday, January 12, 7 pm at the Odd Fellows Hall in Enterprise, we will feature Charles Shields, author of Mockingbird: A Portrait of Harper Lee. Shields will discuss Lee as described in his book, a New York Times bestseller. There will also be a free book raffle and refreshments. Admission by donation.
I’ll keep you all posted on a weekly basis about upcoming Big Read events. In the meantime ...
