My name is Andy Johnson and I am teacher in Brandon, SD. We have followed the Iditarod since I have been in Brandon and have been Iditarod Insider members the last several years.
We have created our own version of the Ikidarod that we have done since 2007 in which the students actually form teams and compete against each other. A local TV station came out in 2007 and did a short story on it if you would like to take a look.
