The weekend for WHAT??
EXCITEMENT.
Last Weekend: Fur Rondy started in Anchorage! Parts of Anchorage streets will be closed this weekend to Sprint Racing Dog Sled Teams racing through the streets. PLUS all of the other Fur Rondy Events. And there are a lot of them!
THIS WEEKEND: The start of the 2024 Iditarod (I-dit-ah-rod) is in Anchorage Saturday, March 3rd. It’s downtown just follow the crowd. This is happening concurrently with Fur Rondy, but it is a separate event.
I would like to say escape the crowds and hit the restart in Willow, but the crowds are there, too. So take your chances.
NEXT WEEKEND: The Arctic Winter Games are coming to Palmer NEXT week. If you want to catch any of those events in the area check the schedule. The sports range from badminton to skiing to curling and honestly so much.
So that’s the excitement happening within 50 miles of me. How about you?
