This evening was Fairbanks’ turn to meet the Yukon Quest mushers.
With all the mushers in one room it was a great experience for young and old to meet everyone from multiple Quest champs to rookies. Everyone had their favourites and got their posters, race guides and T-shirts signed, took selfies and shook hands with them.
Thanks to Caleb for this fantastic note and picture! It always means so much when young fans get excited about the race, it strengthens the future of our sport and our race.
Thanks to La Quinta Inn and Fred Meyer for hosting the event this evening (the fruit platter was a treat!)
Check out the awesome merchandise on sale. See the online store for details on how you can get your hands on some! And watch this space as the prize for our next Dog Fan Club draw will be a fabulous Yukon Quest poster signed by Allen and Aliy.
Fairbanks is where the FUN is, thats for sure! Wish I lived closer!
SO excited to see how Allen and the Black Team does this year! Go SPK!!!
WOOF WOOF WOOF for the Black Team!!! Go Allen!!!
(Let’s not forget Red Team athletes, who will be practicing for the next big race in the meanwhile.)
And awesome depiction of SP Kennel layout, Caleb!!!
So we’re all about to get those “refresh” fingers ready…set…GO BLACK TEAM
That sounds like so much fun!
GO ALLEN and the BLACK TEAM! The Yukon Quest is only a couple days away!
I hope the Red Team’s training is going well. The Iditarod is just around the corner!
