5 Things To Do In The Mat-SU!

GCI Kids Day at Alaska State Fair-August 24^th

We celebrate our youngest fairgoers on this very special day of the Fair! Enjoy free admission for kids 12 and under all day compliments of Alaska Born and Raised GCI. We believe that hunger knows no age, neither does teaching kids the importance of giving to others. Please bring a donation of two shelf-stable food items per child to Fair gates. Highlights of the day include a royal visit by Princesses of Alaska, Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman Kids Day activities, and Combs Insurance Agency, Inc. Diaper Derby and Toddler Trot! The Just for Kids cookie contest will be taking place in Hoskins and down at the RAM Truck Grandstand, kiddos will be testing their skills in the Jr. Rodeo!

Single mother, Doris Walker, doesn’t want her six-year-old Susan’s head filled with romantic notions. Their neighbor, Fred Gailey, tries to woo Doris by charming Susan and taking her to see Santa Claus at Macys, where Doris works. Doris is not impressed, but when it turns out that Macys Santa may, in fact, be the real Kris Kringle, a wave of love spreads across New York City that melts even the most cynical hearts.
