Top 6 Best things about the Alaska State Fair

We went to the fair a couple of weeks ago hand here is a run down of the best parts:


#6 Driving to Palmer: finally able to get out of Soldotna in the the company of a couple friends and the drive through the Chugach mountains it beautiful!

#5 Alaskan Fair Food: In stead of hamburgers we had caribou burgers and ice cream. Alaska eats the most ice cream per capita of any state.


#4 Giant Vegetables including a 127 Lb cabbage...I guess that is what constant sunlight will do to you.

#3  Walking salmon around the fair.  One of the anti-pebble mine organizations was selling salmon on a leash as a fund raiser.  We got 2 and walked them all over the fair.  It was great because the crowd was so thick that people would see us with leashes and assume we had dogs.  Then when they got close enough to see salmon on the ends of our leashed they would get quite a shock.  Most people would just laugh, but one kid got so scared, he nearly jumped out of his skin and ran away.



 #2  Double Rainbow we saw driving back home, and a beluga whale.  It was like a Lisa Frank poster.



  #1 Best 4-H poster ever made.  I will let it speak for itself.
