This is a forum for general discussion of dogsled racing, with a special focus on Alaska, and is open to all. It is expected that this area will see the most activity during the months leading up to, and during the annual Iditarod sled dog race. Pictures from races can be posted here. Hosting is provided by the Bering Strait School District (BSSD), and the area is open all year. Care to be one of our volunteer moderators? Contact us!

https://mail.yahoo.com/d/folders/1/mess ... AKIcJhoBWAThe above address goes to the announcement from ITC about the Finishers Banquet in Nome tonight. Doors open at 4pm Alaska time, so 8pm EDT. I'll let y'all figure your own times. Way too late for Norway, Germany and England
unless someone wants to stay up all night.
As usual we can meet in chat
chat/ . Bring treats to share and libations are welcome also.
See you tonight.
(I will need a nap!)

Looking forward to it. I will be in chat. Good news is with not as many mushers. It will go a lot faster.

Couldn’t get to the link because it goes to a yahoo mail link (I don’t have yahoo mail).
I was bummed because I thought the banquet was last night and I missed it, but it sounds like I got lucky - if only I can find the link to it?

Ah, I typed too soon and found the announcement in my email.
Event starts at 5 pm AK time and will be streamed on insider. I hope to be in the chat typing as fast as I can - “see” you this evening!

Have fun! Even though we haven't switched to DST yet, that one hour doesn't really help. 5pm is still in the middle of the night.
Enjoy yourselves..

Don't know how long I'll be able to stay tonight. Have a PT appointment at 8am tomorrow. PT not my favorite thing to do but it is helping.

Flower I sure do, that was the good ol' days.
Remember when tangles was thinking about running the Iditarod? And we were all wanting to be his handlers?
I've been looking at the ITC site hoping they put up the video of the banquet and all the winners of the various awards.

Hope they get a video up for all of you missed any or all of the banquet! We could see and hear all of it. How far the coverage has come!
