Juneau Igloo Royalty

Posted on About by Dorene Lorenz · November 04, 2023 1:19 PM

The first elected queen, Gussie Byington, made a homemade crown that was used 1980-1983. After that a metal and jeweled crown was purchased for the Queen Regent.

The King Regent was presented with a gold-plated No. 2 "muck stick" or round-pointed shovel for the Royal Scepter, and he has always worn a black derby hat of felt material. In mid-1987 materials were purchased and the auxiliary made new King and Queen Regent robes. None had been used before this date.

Each year the names of the King and Queen Regent of that year are engraved on small brass plates, and are attached to the shovel handle.

The first gold colored round-pointed shovel was used by then Gov. Bill Sheffield and Grand President Max Wells at the ground breaking ceremony of the Juneau Pioneers Home on
September 25, 1986.
