The State Fair and Blueberries

The Alaska State Fair began this past Thursday with huge vegetables, farm animals and rain. On Saturday both Travis and I helped to represent the public health department and the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC). We handed out information and spoke to individuals and families on how to properly prepare for an emergency situation. We met numerous Alaskans and tourists throughout the day and provided a great deal of information and free prizes. In addition, we were able to explore the fair.

On Sunday we visited Hatcher Pass and Independence Mine and Historical Park. Wild blueberries grow everywhere on the mountain and are available for picking. They are different from eastern wild blueberries but equally as delicious.
