NENANA ICE CLASSIC

Until the beginning of April, you can participate in this old bet dating from 1917. Every year people bet on the exact date of the fall of the tripod installed on the frozen river Tanana. The story begins in Nenana, in 1917, a group of exploratory engineers for the Alaska Railroad bet 800 US$ by guessing when the river will break under the weight of a tripod. Since then, this little game has become a tradition that continues to this day. The ticket for this natural raffle costs US$ 3. The winners can share up to 225 000 US$!
