| 1997 Tour of Siberia & Russian Far East | ||||||||||
| Welcome to photos and stories from
our wonderful 2-week tour of Siberia and the Russian Far East last fall, sponsored by
Rotary International. Rotary District 5010 is the largest Rotary District in the
world, comprised of the Canadian Yukon Territory, Alaska, and Russia east of the Urals. Our special thanks to Carolyn Jones, past President of Rotary District 5010, for selecting McLeod to represent Alaskan musicians in this ongoing cultural exchange program. |

Yes, we were the first Bluegrass band in Siberia
and the Russian Far East! McLeod traveled over 10,000 miles, visited 6 cities in 2 weeks, performed more than 30 concerts at schools, universities, foster homes, and nursing homes, attended countless receptions, met hundreds of people, and generally had the time of our lives! |
