'Fair Weather’
By Barbara Hamilton
Are you going hunting? Or
have you already been?
That moose will look real
purty in the 20-foot Westing
house freezer the Alaska State
Fair is raffling off. Yep—we
have the cooler on ice, just
waiting for the lucky winner.
It will be raffled off Sunday,
Sept. 1 after the horse races
are over. The tickets are only
25c and you can get them at
the Fair office or from our
many Fair helpers. Also, they
will be sold during the Fair.
If you have a hunch—get a
bunch . . . only twenty five
cents!!! Just a quarter of a
dollar . . . going . . . going . . .
We are trying to talk the Al
aska Railroad into calling their
special excursion train the
“Fireworks Special” and hold
ing it until after the gigantic i
fireworks display is over. As
usual the special train will be
coming to the Fair on Sunday,
Sept. 1. In other years the re
duced fare has been $3 for
adults, children 8 to 16 years
riding at half fare with young
sters under 8 riding for free.
We expect that these fares will
be the same this year, but they
are giving us a bad time about
holding up departure of the
train until 10 p.m. Well, nego
tiations are continuing and we
are hoping that the youngsters’
hearts won’t be broken by a
cruel decision of the Alaska
Railroad to take their train
back before all the fun.
We are so glad that the Ki
wanians are again taking over
the car parking facilities this
year. They have done such a
good job in other years. Not a
