Good evening again, friends.  Tonight was a busy and exciting night in Bethel, Alaska... We had simultaneous events taking place in downtown Bethel, as the K300 Benefit Concert unfolded at the Cultural Center and the second round women's games at the K300 Basketball Tournament took place at the Armory.  The Benefit Concert saw a packed house and top-notch local talent, and the basketball games were a hit for everyone in attendance.  The fun keeps rolling on Thursday, as men's basketball gets underway at the Armory, along with two women's games at Gladys Jung.  Also on Thursday, the musher's meeting and drawing take place in the evening, so race fans have plenty to look forward to.

It has turned cold in Bethel, as the temperature barely topped 0 degrees this afternoon.  Look for some brisk conditions on Thursday and Friday as it stays clear and cold, and the wind slowly builds out of the northeast.
