The Iditarod
By
Margaret F

It was a freezing cold day like it usually was in Achorage. I was training my 16 dogs for the
Iditarod race. Their names were Snap, Rita, Raina, Ice, Glitter, Aster, Misty, Tundra, Raven,
Spice, Nanna, Demon, Nina, Sasha, Scarlet and Pint. Snap loved to snap at snow and
snowflakes but never missed a step. Glitter's eyes sparkled just like glitter and Pint drank almost 4 pints of water 3 times a day. I was 18, finally old to enter the Iditrod race,
which I had always dreamed of.

One story from each participating PBS station has been randomly selected.
With over 45,000 entries, it is not possible to share all stories online.
