So nice to hear all the wonderful comments about HUSLIA. The community has come out!! They are excited and are showing it. Their hall is full of home cooking and their spirit is wonderful to experience--that's the "word on the street".
AARON BURMEISTER, first to arrive in HUSLIA received the Dorothy Page 1/2 way Award and $3,000 worth of gold nuggets (Debby, think one of those is mine???). The community wanted to give their own gifts so they presented AARON with a pair of beaded beaver mitts, a beaded cross and a marten hat. AARON said it felt like Christmas!! The excitement was perhaps just what the mushers (and dogs) needed 1/2 way through the race. Hats off to HUSLIA!!
