Saturday was the cerimonial start for the 34th Iditarod sled dog race. 1150 miles to Nome. Downtown Anchorage was packed. It was a perfect time for our Saturday presentations at the Ship Creek Center. It was full of race fans, tourist, carnival goers and just people checking things out. The weather was a little warm, about +31°F and the sun was out the whole time.Ruth presented the northern hawk owl she also caretakes. The crowd was large and constant for about 3 hours. We meet people from all over. They had lots of questions and took lots of pictures.

KTUU Channel 2 in Anchorage has an excellent website set up to follow the race.

Unfortunately not. It's being held on the Kenai Penninsula which is about a 4 hours drive. Here is a link to the news on KTUU CHannel 2 about it though http://www.ktuu.com/AWG%202006/index.html
