2008 Parka Parade

Last year on the 40th anniversary of the Anchorage Native Musicale the Parka Parade was started. This year marks the 2nd time ANNLF hosted the event. It is sure to be a favorite time for all to see parkas and kusbucks handmade by Musicale go-ers. Here is from Wednesday, February 27, 2008.

I heard that there were a lot more parkas on Tuesday!!! Hopefully the last two days of Musicale 2008 will also have incredible parkas displayed. Thanks to all of the participants, you are making the Anchorage Native Musicale a Anchorage Fur Rondy event not to be easily forgotten.

The background music in this video is singing by Ruben Hillborn, shared by his wife Lorraine Hillborn. "My Great Alaska." What a great voice! We all miss Ruben.



Which parka was your favorite? It would be hard to favorite any other than Hilma Shavings beautiful squirrel parka in this video. ENJOY!

Anchorage Native Musicale Setting Up

Here are short video clips of the bunch from ANNLF getting ready to host the 41st Anchorage Fur Rondy Native Musicale at West High School with West's great backstage help - Tammy. The school has new chairs and new flooring, not only carpet but new flooring on the stage too. It is beautiful.

Hoping that all Musicale users will be careful to leave West High in immaculate order before leaving. Several were not too happy to see that someone had spilled liquid in the loft then left it there for others to clean up. Come on people, be careful and please - clean up after yourselves! Thanks.

Here is the video, hosted at ANNLF's You Tube site.
