Another victorious year at the Green River Classic has come and gone. We had a superb turn out and a fantastic group of mushers. Day one proved to be a beautiful day with brilliant skies. Temperatures reached about 10 degrees. Day two proved to be a frigid day with the morning opening at -25 degrees F and a moderate breeze. It was definitely colder than a well digger's big toe!
We would like to give our volunteers and sponsors a special THANK YOU! Without them we would not have had (free of charge)the subway dinner at the mushers meeting, the most amazing Chili for lunch both days, the magnificent heated tent and seating, the exceptionally well plowed road to the parking area, the sweatshirts that each musher received, the well made race bibs, the little disk sleds passed out to playing children, the endless amounts of chocolate donuts, the many, many handlers taking some teams 150 yards to the start line, the sweet snowmobilers freezing their big toes to man the turn-arounds, the hay provided to mushers, the marble plaques handed to the top three places, Continental Kennel Club for the purse provided for the junior event, and last but not least, the very generous BP and their employees for not only the 6 and 12 dog purse but many, many other incidentals that are too many list!
