2009 Fur Rondy Grand Parade





Fur Rondy is back! Since 1935 this amazing festival has celebrated the return of miners and trappers back to Anchorage.One of the highlights of the Fur Rendezvous is the Grand Parade which is the kick off to the event that lasts 1 weeks. We have ice sculptor contests, balls, ice fishing, so many events I can not list them all. Needless to say this event not only attracts Alaskans but people from all over the world!
This year I was honored to be escorted by Soldiers from the Alaska Army National Guard in the most "decked out" SUSV I am sure I will ever see. I can not wait to get out and see what the next two weeks bring !

  1. Gianna, I just love the parade photos! That has to be the most unique parade vehicle I've ever seen! Sure looks like fun! Can't wait to meet you in July!
