Pictures from the Talkeetna Moose Festival

  • Talkeetna

As much as anything the Talkeetna Moose Dropping Festival is a big music celebration, with two days of music from Alaskan performers. One of my favorites was Melissa Mitchell, shown here:

And yes, the dude is playing his tie. (You had to be there.)

I'm not too much into pictures of crowds, but here's one to give you a little idea of how crowded the little town was this weekend:

Wow, I've never seen Talkeetna this crowded, and I hope I never do again. The festival was generally fun, but there was one or two drunks in the crowd by the music that were making a scene. There really needs to be some law enforcement here for this event.
