This afternoon a huge crowd turned out to “The Mini” (Mini-convention centre) in Nome to meet the mushers. The queue was out the door with fans and supporters who had posters, T-shirts, photos and all manner of things for the mushers to sign.


The queue was out the door


Aliy signs posters for fans; Allen signs hundreds of posters


Iditarod 3-2-1 (Mitch, Aliy and Dallas)


Aliy hands over the Diptheria vaccine

The Mini is right next door to the dog yard so I snuck out and got a picture of Puppet!


Puppet-dawg looking very polar-bear-esque, squinting in the sunshine.

  • Great job by all!!!!!!!!!!! still waiting for the last 2 to get in < feeling like a mother hen>

  • Polar Puppet looks so sweet and content.
    Aliy and Allen look like they are recovering nicely too.
    Thank you.

  • Puppet is such a good girl! I got to take of her last year. So happy she made it to Nome!

  • I sure like that photo of you between two champs, the Seavey's. You could not have any better friends then those two. I also want to say that you have some of the most beautiful dogs I ever seen. You yourself if Amazing beyond comprehension.

  • Love this picture! Puppet looks so cozy in the sun.Until 2008 we had a white German Shepherd the kids always called polar bear. Puppet face reminds me of my big bear. And Aliy I thought of you again yesterday—in ongoing research of my family tree, I learned yesterday that my dad's baby sister died at 2 years old of diptheria related illness. It reminded me that you and Martin were carrying vaccine and how important the original trip to Nome must have been. Hope everyone is getting rested! Great job this year!

  • glad to see everyone looking better! (2 legged) Puppet looks great! and where can we get one of those posters? I cant say enough about how great the support team was in keeping us posted all around. Thanks to Mickey for the interview of Aliy!
    Cant wait for the banquet!
