This evening was the Meet the Musher event at the Alpine Lodge in Fairbanks.
A steady flow of fans, family and supporters got the mushers to autograph posters, T-shirts and postcards and got photos a-plenty.
It’s a great event for the public to meet some of their favorites – and it’s the first time some of the mushers get to talk to each other since the start nearly two weeks ago.
Ed Hopkins (3rd), Brent Sass (1st) and Allen (2nd) were sitting next to each other so I asked for a photo. This is what I got!
I got a serious one also…
Haha! The event was fun. Thank you so much.
Looks like fun! thanks Moira!

Looks like you all had a fun time!! It was an awesome race to watch and I have been going through withdrawals already with no race to watch this weekend!
Good lookin' guys all!!!
Good luck to all three kennels in upcoming Iditarod!!!
It is so good to see the great relationships between the competitors! They are a credit to their sport. Need more like them in other sports.
Looking forward to seeing them at the Iditarod start in a couple of weeks!
They look like they have recovered nicely.

Sounds like a fun event.Now which of the two photos do I like best, hmmn…
