FAIR HONORED WITH MAYNARD SMITH AWARD The Fair was honored to receive the Maynard Smith Award at the Alaska State Horse Shows Banquet on January 18.

The Fairgrounds boasts facilities large enough for trade shows or conventions and intimate enough for weddings and board retreats. The Fair’s expansive open areas have hosted shows, youth encampments, jamborees, company picnics, and family reunions. Combined with outdoor electrical power, the lawns are perfect for traveling caravans and RV groups.

We’re happy! Want to know why? The results are in from the survey of fairgoers at the 2013 Alaska State Fair, and we’re happy that so many of you were satisfied with your Fair experience and had a positive impression of the Fair! Thank you!
