What a beautiful day for those who may be taking to the air to ‘chase the race’… it’s Iditarod time! For the next couple days Talkeetna gets hoppin’ as folks filter to town to catch a flight to one of the checkpoints on this side of the Alaska Range.

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!
