the 1925 Diptheria Serum dogsled run that saved the citizens
of epidemic-stricken Nome & to commemorate the history of the
trail that originally began in Seward that linked the various
small towns along the way to Nome as a mail & resource extraction
route. The 2001 race is scheduled to start March 2. |

FUR RENDEZVOUS Feb. 9-18, 2001
Starting in 1935 as a winter sporting event & carnival whose
main focus was to bring people together, to show community support,
and celebrate the beginning of the end of winter, the "Rondy"
has grown to include fur trading, arts & crafts exhibitions,
car racing, & dog mushing, among other cultural festivities.
Unfortunately, due to lack of snow (prior to racetime the race
marshalls need at least 7-10 days to prepare the trails) all
3 dog sled races were cancelled for the 2001 Fur Rondy |

SEE REVENUE SURGE IN FY 2000 By Ivan Sciupac, Staff
Writer Stateline.org Monday, February 05, 2001
State
tax revenue grew by a record-setting 8.7 percent last year
and would have grown by 9.4 percent if there had been no changes
in tax rates, tax bases and acceleration of tax payments,
a new study says. The revenue surge was the fastest rate of
growth in the past decade and was stronger than most states
originally forecast, according to the Nelson A. Rockefeller
Institute Of Government. You'll find our story here.
