of researching accommodations in Alaska:
Talkeetna Lodge
(last paragraph, first page)
"A highlight of the summer season is the annual Moose Dropping Festival in
July, staged by the Talkeetna Historical Society. The celebration starts
with the Mountain Mother Contest where women participants split a quart of
wood and run an obstacle course with snowshoes on, all with the equivalent
weight of a baby strapped on their back. The final event is the Moose Drop
Contest, where contestants buy a moose dropping which is taken up in a
helicopter and dropped onto a target. The person who bought the moose
dropping that lands closes to the target splits the winning pot of money
50/50 with the Historical Society."
