Description: Alaska Pin Moose Dropping Festival Talkeetna Alaska 1989 Comical pin with a moose jumping out of a cake :) The event was named after a lottery where people bet on numbered pieces of moose droppings that were dropped from a helicopter onto a target. The festival went under scrutiny from PETA, and they began a campaign against it after a misinterpretation led them to believe that the festival was for dropping actual moose being dropped out of helicopter. It took several heated letters and hours of phone conversations to clear up with PETA and make them recognize that moose droppings were being dropped from helicopters and NOT the actual animal Pin measures approx 1 3/8 inches tall We have quite a variety of pins available - over 1,600 listed! to check out the others we have - might find a few good ones to add to your collection :) (Inventory i-13) Hello from Alaska **Any questions about this item, please ask :)** **We do combine shipping - if wanting a quote - just ask :)** *We offer local pick-up (we have a storefront in Fairbanks, Alaska - it's called Alaska Transfers & Design in the Regency Court Mall on College Road) - Please let us know before payment is made* to check out our other items! We have LOTS of vintage items, Alaska souvenirs, collectibles, novelties and much more listed in our store !! **Customers Buying Multiple items** If you purchase more then 1 item please DO NOT pay for each separately - Please put all the items you want to buy in the cart, then use the "ask the seller for a total" option, so we can send you a new invoice with the postage set correctly for multiple items, it may save you $$ in shipping costs - I am told that option is hard to find on the phone app - no worries, we do refund shipping overages. SHIPPING NOTES: We offer 1 day handling, meaning we mail items within 24 hours of purchase (except on weekends and non mailing holidays of course) , but seeing how we are in North Pole Alaska, items may take 3-5 days longer to arrive at the destination than what eBay's notice quotes. They no longer process mail in Alaska, so an item I mail here takes 1 day to get from North Pole to Anchorage, then usually 1 day to be flown to a processing center, then 1 day to get sorted. So there's a lag time of about 3 days in there that eBay does not take into consideration for Sellers that are in Alaska. So please keep that in mind when buying from us to add those extra travel days to the expected arrival time that eBay sends you. Thank You! **Sales Tax** eBay does collect sales tax for towns & states that have a sales tax - we personally do not see any of that money, it is handled by eBay. **International Buyers** – We ship internationally using eBay's Global Shipping Program **special note on arrival times International mail has taken anywhere from 7 days to a month to arrive, (item can be held up in customs or at anywhere along the line) this is just how the postal system works, we mail things out the same day / next day after the item is paid for and hopefully that helps in getting the item to you as fast as the postal system can get it there. ***Please Note: The photos are taken on a measuring mat or next to a ruler for sizing. Measurements are in 1 inch increments - if you have a question about the measurements, please ask...
