#TuesdayTip: The best prevention for COVID-19 is to wash your hands often, avoid touching your face & practice social distancing. If you think you have been exposed to COVID-19, call your health care provider. If you do not have a health care provider, call the nearest hospital.

[Lieutenant Governor Garlin Gilchrist II @LtGovGilchrist]

Ready for some dog sledding? Then you're in for a treat this Friday night when the @CopperDog150 takes off from Calumet. Although you're not likely to find any Saint Bernards pulling the sleds as in these photos, you'll see plenty of good dogs in the 25, 80, and 150 mile races!
