Now you are asking yourself... those Talkeetna'ns, they are not really dropping mooses out of the sky, do they?–Of course not! Here is how it goes: Head to the VFW at 6 pm on Saturday for the Moose Drop Dropping, a raffle sponsored by the VFW. Don't be late! (If you are on "Talkeetna Time", all you will get to watch is the kids and dogs kicking moose droppings around!) Shellacked and numbered moose poop is hauled up in the air in a net and then dropped on a huge bullseye. Raffle numbers correspond to numbers on moose poop. Winners include the closest and farthest from the bullseye. Raffle tickets are sold on Moose Drop Saturday at the VFW and at the Talkeetna Historical Society Museum.
