Anchor Point Holds
Annual Snow Festival,
New Queen Crowned
Weight pulling contests domin
ated activities at the Anchor
Point Snow Festival last weekend
with Larry Clendenen walking off
with most of the top honors in
those events. Clendenen took first
places in the three-dog and one
dog heavyweig'ht events with
pulls of 3,200 lbs. and 1,000 lbs.,
respectively, and also placed first
dn the 3-dog light-weight compe
tition with a pull of 2,400 lbs.
There were no 2-dog teams enter
ed.
Joe Brandon, who swept most
of the weight pull events last
year, took first place in last week
end’s 1-dog light-weight event
with a pull of 600 lbs.
These were outstanding weights
for such competition, but were
somewhat short of the 6,175 lbs.
that Clendenen’s dogs pulled in
1961 to set the still unbroken
World’s Champion weight pull for
a 3-dog team.
Inez (Mrs. Larry) Clendenen
took second place in Saturday’s
3-dog and 1-dog lightweight and
heavyweight contests.
New Queen Crowned
Saturday night, the traditional
Snow Flake Ball was held and
the new queen crowned. Entries
in the queen contest were Colleen
Murdoch, Soldotna; Patti Stutz,
Anchor Point, and Sharon Strick
land, Homer.
Unfortunately, because of oth
er committments, the Homer en
try had to withdraw when the
Festival was postponed from its
originally scheduled date in Feb
ruary. Of the two remaining en
tries, Miss Murdoch, sponsored by
■the Bear Den in Soldotna, was
crowned queen by Phyllis Wilson
of Kenai, who was queen of the
Festival in 1961.
The Snow Flake Ball was as al
ways one of the outstanding so
cial events of the winter season
on the Kenai Peninsula and lasted
until well into the morning.
Run Token Races
The main event of the Festival,
the Kenai Peninsula Sled Dog
Championship Races, was cancel
led for lack of snow. However, in
the last two days before the Fes
tival, more snow did fall, so a
token race was held on Sunday.
Four mushers (Calvin Thur
mond. Jo- Brandon. Ray Charle
ton and Larry Clendenen) enter
ed this six-mile road race. Bran
don won this event with a time
of 22 minutes 35 seconds. Thur
mond took second with 22:39;
de^dene” rme in third in 27:18
/-g ' r0„.+v,
33-^9.
The Kenai Peninsula Cham
pionship race will be held at a
later date, possibly in two weeks
if there is sufficient snow cover
age. Sweepstakes drawings will
take place at this time.
Trophies for first place in the
1-dog and 3-dog heavyweight
events this past weekend were
donated by the Alaska Husky
Battery Co., Anchorage. Don’s

ed each of the first place winners
