When winter hits the Minnesota north woods area, one of the moods of transportation is by dog sled. Crane Lake resident Pete Redmond is a sled dog racer and has called Crane Lake his home for more than 25 years. Although Pete still races and raises sled dogs, he recently took up the craft of chain-saw carving and creates and sells numerous 'larger-than-life' art works each season. Petes art work is displayed in the yard of the "Pumpkin Shell"...a log craft show he built for his wife and named for the nursery rhyme.
