Iditarod Awards Banquet
The Iditarod Awards Banquet wrapped up a few hours ago in the Nome Rec Center, it was an amazing dinner of Halibut, Prime-Rib, prawns, and fresh strawberries. Its always fun to hear stories as told by the mushers, and see the awards all given out. We were there taping the whole banquet, and have now posted it online for you to enjoy. We weren’t able to get a feed from the microphone itself, but we did have a recording device on the stage just to the right of the podium, so you are able to hear pretty much everything that is going on.
It’s split up into five sections, and unfortunately because of the manner in which this was all able to come together, we ran out of juice about half way through and missed some of the middle mushers as I went and literally ran into Nome to get some fresh batteries for the recording device. We tried to make it happen as best as possible.

Thank you so much for publishing this recording! We were disappointed when Iditarod Insider was not able to cover the banquet this year. Your recording has filled the gap, and it’s great to be able to put it on my portable mp3 player too.
