 It is tradition.  It is the time of the year when the Alaska State Fair draws to a close and it is almost time for our Iditarod Checkpoint booth to head to storage.  It’s been a great couple of weeks at the fair.  We’ve showcased our merchandise, talked with race fans, and spent time with old friends who have dropped by our both at the fair.  We’ve shared the Iditarod story with others and we’ve also enjoyed just spending time at the fair.

But before we could close the doors to Checkpoint Iditarod at the fair, there were a few more things that needed to happen.  Around 5:00, folks started to gather at our booth at the fair… Just like in previous years, folks were gathered to witness the ‘drawing of the summer raffle tickets’ and celebrate with the winners, the Last Great Race on Earth, Iditarod…

 

All 2000 tickets sold and were in the drum for the drawing!  We know this and you are guaranteed this to be true, because our CPA firm double and triple checked… The tickets were in the drum.  Staff arrived on the scene for the drawing.   A group of friends and race fans  gathered at the Iditarod Booth at the Alaska State Fair to watch the drum roll, the door of the drum open, tickets pulled from the drum, and the lucky winner’s ticket announced.

Congratulations to the winners and thanks to everyone who purchased a ticket or came out to watch the drawing.  YOU are the Iditarod….   Thanks!
