Kenai Alaska Resort & Fishing Guide

Did you know the word mascot originates from the French word mascotte, meaning “lucky charm”?

What an appropriate topic considering St. Patrick’s Day is this Tuesday (don’t forget St. Urho’s Day is Monday).

Apparently, our friends Mike and Mary Harden thought we needed a mascot. 

Regular visitors to Alaska, when they were up this past August, before they left Mike gave Jane a box and said this is for you and Keith. 

Inside of the box was a beautifully mounted baby beaver with a Beaver Creek Cabins & Guide Service medallion attached to the driftwood base. Wow! A very unique gift. 

We decided the home of our new mascot would be in the office. However, there is one thing that needs to be done and that’s giving it a name. A mascot always has a name.

Any ideas?

By the way, if you want to know if  the “lucky charm” worked, the answer is yes, it did.
