On a more 'fun' note (if you like cold, snowt wx)

Fur Rondy is a near-Spring hoo-haw in Anchorage each year, that along with parades and such, sponsors a snow carving contest.



Team Alaska Awesome took first 2 years ago with this dragon.


from years past...


The Salmonado - Team Alaska Awesome took 1st last year with this one.


The two left side blocks (water drop) go together. This was done by my daughter for the kiddos. She picked up the People Choice award. All great fun on a cold and crappy set of weekends.

Me? I get to cater - hot food and drink on order - for Team Alaska Awesome and a certain solo artist.

Judging for this year's contest is this Sunday (2/26). I'll post up some pics later on this years efforts.

 

Some great efforts are made - the last 3 years have been beset by little to no snow and warm (30 - 35F) temps which makes for very soft snow.

 

Where do snowmen live? Why, in snow cabins, of course.


Or in igloos. This isn't a classic igloo - the artist hollowed out a block of snow and trimmed to get this. Quite a hit with the kids.

Have fun!

 

Maybe tomorrow...

 

That's pretty horrific looking.
I'm going to have to give my mostly white dog something red to chew on just to mess with people.

 

Raven Dancer with Raven - Team Alaska Awesome - 2nd place this year.


Almost completed and 1st place winner.


The face is over 7 feet tall and a crowd favorite.

This is the last of the 2017 Fur Rondy posts. Next up - The Iditarod sled dog race.

Few inventions get it right the first time - generally speaking everything needs to be improved once it leaves the development stage.

 

I swear my eye just twitched.... LOL!!!! are you telling me you are one of those that insists the t. paper needs feed from the bottom.

 

My paper feed on the side .

 

I'm certified to use the paper in both directions. The only thing I'm a stickler on is that the paper, and not 1 1/2 sheets stuck to a roll, is there when I need it. If I have to replace a low roll I usually do it the other direction. Just because.

True that..

 

there is always one in every crowd..... not up, not down but sideways!
