Antiques Roadshow — visiting Alaska for first time in series history — sees thousands of Alaskan keepsakes:
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - The Alaska Native Heritage Center in Anchorage already features an incredible array of historic pieces, all focused on Alaska Native history and culture.
“It’s been everything we’ve hoped,” said Antiques Roadshow Executive Producer Marsha Bemko, who said she has been planning an Antiques Roadshow trip to Alaska for more than a decade. “An excellent day here; thousands of people did turn up, and we saw some great things. Bemko said she learned at the Tuesday event that Butcher, who dominated the Last Great Race from the late 80′s into the early 90′s, is a multi-time Iditarod champion. Butcher, the first multi-time female winner on record, and Libby Riddles, who beat Butcher to become the first woman to win a title, are the only two women to take Iditarod crowns thus far.“That’s what I love about Roadshow,” Bemko said, explaining that she learns something new on each trip.
Leigh Keno — one of 73 appraisers with expertise across 23 specialties on site Tuesday — owns Keno Auctions and has been with Antiques Roadshow since its inaugural season. He said it’s a thrill to visit the cities and encounter the treasures people bring for appraisal.
