By way of introduction, I am on the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee of Greater Anchorage Inc. which is the sponsoring organization responsible for putting on the entire Fur Rendezvous festival, which includes the World Championship as one of its most prominent events. As many of you know by now, the financial condition of the festival is a bit shaky and steps are being taken to put it stronger financial ground. The dog race will most likely have additional supporting organizations involved but that is all in the state of transition as this is written. What would be most helpful to me and others involved in this restructuring is to hear what specific changes would enhance the race or should it be left to run as it has historically? What can the race organizers do to make it more attractive to spectators, media coverage, cable television coverage as well as attract more teams? Thanks for any help.
