A native Alaskan grandmother shares spectator seats with her daughters and their children in their fur-decorated parkas to watch the World Championship Sled Dog Races in Anchorage that take place during the Anchorage Fur Rendezvous, the oldest and largest winter festival in Alaska, USA. Dog teams and their mushers compete over three days to determine the winner with the fastest elapsed time. The event began in 1946 and is considered the grandfather of all Alaska races.
