IditaZoo

3/13/2017

 
This past Saturday, March 11th we had the opportunity to join The Alaska Zoo at their IditaZoo event! Kids and adults alike got to "race" through the Zoo's checkpoints, meet with real mushers, and visit with some adorable sled dogs. We hosted a table with maps, coloring pages, and information all about the Iditarod National Historic Trail. Many visitors were surprised to learn about the trail's origin as a mail route during the gold rush, while others had visited Mile 0 at Seward and hiked on sections of the Southern Trek! Our table was right next to the Zoo's Checkpoint #3: Kaltag, where visitors learned about how to take care of sled dogs, and drew pictures of what they learned.

Photographer John Gomes was able to capture some great moments of the event! Here is a look at our table, right in front of the Great Horned Owl. We even spent some time with Miss Rodeo Alaska 2017, Michaila Massong, who was a big fan of the Iditarod National Historic Trail and its history. Thanks for stopping by Michaila!

Check out the rest of the photos from the day at the John Gomes gallery - there are lots of great animals!
