Fur Rondy

Fur Rondy is a week long event in Anchorage, originating from the times when fur trappers would come to 'town' to sell their furs.
It now includes fur auctions, dog sledding, ice carving, carnival rides and not forgetting "running with the reindeer" !!

Dog sledding teams leaving 4th Avenue-

Lots of unusual fur hats are on display!!

Locals run the stretch of 4th avenue with reindeers...why you might ask ???

The streets are lined with furs for sale...only in Anchorage!
