Friday 28 August
Presented by: Coca-Cola Alaska Bottling Company
KIDS’ DAY
Coca-Cola is helping us celebrate our youngest fairgoers! Enjoy free admission all day for kids 12 and under. We believe hunger knows no age, and neither does teaching kids the importance of giving back. Please bring a donation of two shelf-stable food items per child to the Fair gates. Stop by the Coca-Cola Trailer for an ice-cold experience you won’t forget! Snap a photo with the iconic Coca-Cola Polar Bear and grab one of 500 limited-edition beverage koozies while supplies last. While you’re there, try the all-new Coca-Cola Cherry Float and enter to win fun prizes throughout the day. The annual Diaper Derby and Toddler Trot presented by Combs Insurance is happening on the office lawn by Red Gate. Fun and frosting await at the Hoskins Exhibits building, unleash your creativity with a FREE cookie decorating event presented by Great Harvest Bakery, then stick around for the Cookie Contest at 7pm, presented by Vagabond Blues.
