AR-News: (US AK) Students net profit at trapper's fur auction

[Animalara2003 at aol.com]

By BETH IPSEN, Staff Writer 
Delta Junction trapper Wayne Crowson usually sells animal hides, but at the 
Alaska Trappers Association fur auction in downtown Fairbanks Sunday Crowson 
was actually more interested in buying furs. 
Crowson was set to barter on fox hides that Bethel school children had 
trapped and sent to the 27th annual auction during the Fairbanks Winter Carnival. 
He was enjoying the "wheeling and dealing" of the auction and the fact that 
his purchases would hopefully keep the children interested in a lifestyle that 
Crowson has enjoyed for the past 25 years.
