Winter Events
The winter adventures are just as much fun — if not
more - than summer, from spearing the Northern Pike,
to jigging for a giant Lake Trout. Have you ever
pulled a 20 pound lake trout out of the ice before?
How about catching dozens of Northern Pike?
 Do you
want to?
Come watch the Iron Dog,
the longest and
toughest sno-go (snowmobile) race in the world. See
these men and women come through headed off to Nome
and into some of Alaska's wildest and most remote
areas.
Riding a sno-go to lakes that
are off the beaten path and some that have never
been fished before... Your ice fishing and winter
adventures are fun and exciting. So why sit around
and wait for summer? To Book a trip ~ when you can
come any time of the year.

Iron Dog Appreciation Weekend
See attached flyer for information
We have saved the best for last - Last March we
started a new winter event here at the Roadhouse"IRON DOG APPRECIATION Weekend" - Was it ever a hit
…Let me explain this Idea: We originally started
this weekend to thank the Iron Dog Racer's &
Families who have supported us since we opened in
2010 - ( I think they Thanked me more than I could
thank them.) We wanted a place where everyone (the
racers young and old) could come and share stories
new and old - there are so many stories to share and
to tell -We talked about it for a couple years and
after the accident in 2012 We wanted to start
something that could help our fellow friends and
families ☺ God Forbid anything should happen again -
Took us a co uple years to figure things out.. and so
we created a weekend where we could all have fun,
ride and enjoy the camaraderie of the Iron Dog
Family
So we are on the right trail
now we wanted to start a fund to help our Iron Dog
Family in time of need - We hope we never need this
fund But it is started now. Thank you to all…. We
had to start someplace and last March we raised over
1500.00 for our first fundraiser - we donated 50% to
the Urban student exchange program and we started
our new Irondog Friends & Family Fund (IDF&FF) fund
with the remainder. I am absolutely astounded... And
thankful…
We are still working out the
details so please be patient... Several folks
collaborated and even wrote a new Iron Dog song and
how fitting is this it was it was sung First by no
other than : Heather Tuckness Sottasanti ~ what a
beautiful voice.
Miss Harriet Hamilton
Fennerty graciously volunteered to help set up the
fund, she will also manage the new Iron Dog Friends
and Family Fund. (Can't think of anyone more perfect
for this task) With the help and support of
volunteers Miss Christine Dout Olds and Miss Heather
Tuckness Sottasanti.
So from now on we have
set aside the 3rd weekend in March - to celebrate
the Race the riders and their families. We will have
the fundraiser at the Skwentna Roadhouse - ALL Rooms
paid for will be donated to the fund and we will
work diligently through the year to add to the fund.
Please contact us for any questions.
