fur rondy





This post does not really fit into the category of 'pretty crumpets' but I did want to share. I went to Anchorage, Alaska to attend a conference. I don't know why this surprised me, but there's a lot of fur in that town. Fur coats, boots, hats (sometimes with the faces of the animal still there), jock straps (really) and LOTS of stuffed bears (including one in JCPenny). Speaking of fur, it was great timing that Fur Rondy (short for the Fur Rendezvous Festival) was going on at the same time. The festival included a sad little carnival area, snow sculptures, and of course, a ceremonial start of the Iditarod. Go dogs go!
