Running of the Reindeer


























Paul and I joined a crazy crowd of “runners” downtown this weekend for the Running of the Reindeer.

People dress up crazy and then dash up the street and reindeer run around amongst all the running people. The major danger is being knocked over by people not the deer. The reindeer do run really fast though. Unfortunately, we didn't get any good action shots. Trying to take photos while running and watching for the people and the reindeer is too much.

The most exciting part of the event is when one of the reindeer turned around and charged into the group of runners. This is real Alaska winter excitement!

How do you like our costumes? Political Statement and practical--Paul thought of the idea. You can’t see but we each have a shovel on our back. (Shovel Ready is in note of the Shovel Ready Projects popping up all over the nation in response to the Stimulus bill.)
