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…
