ak day

It is Alaska Day! And I think Sitka is the only place in the world that actually celebrates it properly. I mean, most of the people around here that I mentioned it to where like, "What? Are you serious? Did you just invent that holiday?"

And of course, I had to explain to them the significance of the Alaskan purchase, etc, etc. But what is even worse is that people from ALASKA don't even know about it. However, I am taking it upon myself to educate those around me of the importance of this day in celebration form. So, although I can't bring the Keystone Cops, raining parade with bad, uncoordinated marching band music, and the "Beards and Bonnets Contest," I still recommend that you find a way to celebrate ALASKA DAY appropriately...
