I heard an interesting topic on the Iditasupport thread. Seems one of their members is starting up a program where fans can send money and help buy bags of dogfood for their fav mushers. The B.A.R.K. stands for Buy A Round of Kibble! Pretty clever I thought.
This original idea stemmed from Karin's Iditarider wanting to buy her flowers after the race and then rethinking she could use dogfood more. There is a link at sled dog central's website that gives info but I haven't checked it out yet. http://www.sleddogcentral.com/ The link is down on the right hand side..
What a neat idea this is, just another way for zealous fans to really contribute!! Sounds perfect for us no?!
