Fairbanks 2014 AWG Cultural

An important part of the games was the sharing of cultures.

2014 Arctic Winter Games-Arrival at the airport

Pics from the Arctic Winter Games that Fairbanks hosted from March 15-22nd.  Over 2000 athletes from 9 Arctic regions converged on Fairbanks.  It was pretty cool.  You can go to http://awg2014.smugmug.com/  to view over 10,000 pics from the week.
 

 This is probably my favorite.
 
 

 Senator Murkowski and friends.
