Background
The concept of Ididaputt was inspired by the Iditarod Dog-Sled Race that commemorates the 1925 dog sled delivery of diphtheria serum that saved the lives of children of Nome, Alaska. 

Event Description
There will be a 9-hole minigolf course set up on the snowcapped landscape of Lock 3 where two person teams will complete as many holes as they can in one hour. Teams must also pull a sled (or wagon) along the course filled with donated children’s toys, clothes, hats, and gloves.

Before the event, teams will collect pledges from friends, family, businesses, ect. to make a donation for each completed hole. Therefore, the more holes teams complete, the more they raise!
