Here's some photos from March 1st when I was downtown with Kara and Ron.  We watched the ceremonial start of the Iditarod and Fur Rondy's Running with the Reindeer.  I wasn't able to get reindeers and runners in the same photo.  So you'll see a photo of running reindeer and a photo of runners.  There were lots of runners: some were in costume and some weren't.  Everyone was having a good time!

Thanks Ron and Kara for inviting me to join you at Iditarod and Running with the Reindeer!

One of the 73 dog teams that started the Iditarod.

Two of the celebrity reindeer runners!

Just a glimpse at the variety of costumes worn by runners.
