Welcome to the Post-Oosik Week that is THIS week! The Oosik Classic this year topped 750 registered participants, but we all know too well that the numbers in town were easily triple that…. plus the dogs in tow. Haha! Seemed like every Subaru in the state descended on Talkeetna. Great event, happy people and much needed business income for the handful of us that keep our doors open all winter. We should rename this post-Oosik Week the Get-to-Pay-Some-Bills Week. Thank you to the Denali Nordic Ski Club for continuing to organize and grow the event! As usual, our rooms are already booked solid for next year, but we also keep waitlists

We always recommend double checking with the particular venue/host organization to verify all events and happenings are still a ‘go.’ Things change fast…sometimes faster that we can update! Good places to find event information for Talkeetna – besides right here! – are the Talkeetna Chamber of Commerce Calendar of Events page and KTNA’s website under Today’s Announcements.
 
Take care!
