Another Rondy in the books… for those of you that don’t know, Fur Rendezvous is the nation’s premier winter festival (and my favorite way to liven up this time of year). The city turns out for all sorts of events: fireworks, pond hockey, a parade, the horn and hide auction, a melodrama, the Miners and Trappers Ball, frostbite footraces, snow sculpture competition, a carnival, outhouse races, snow shoe softball, a talent competition, and the much-loved running of the reindeer – there’s definitely something for everyone! It’s so much fun to see downtown Anchorage fill up with people excited to be part of Rondy (especially my buddy over at You Know Juneau). Just another reason to love Anchorage.
Nice synopsis! And lovely as ever to see YOU.
The Candice post-running-with-the-reindeer high was the best part! Ich freue mich!
I was going to ask if you did the reindeer run. We saw a short video clip on the news and I wondered then if you were there.
