We enjoy celebrating birthdays, especially with Mike Ferris our Deadliest Catch Myth Buster. We pulled out the stops!
Happy Hands Birthday Greeting, Close Calls on the Bering Sea, history, Rotary projects, Tall Alaska Tale, shameless advertising- (did we mention shameless advertising?).
Plus, the man has stories! We’re talking Close Calls on the Bering Sea! We suspected his wife and mother knew a little about these close calls, but not the full details.
Which makes sense. He can share those details now without stressing them out since he’s out of harm’s way. Although once they hear the full details, Mike might not survive their wrath!

It means something extra when Kim Carlson has attendst he annual Polar Bear Jump Off in Seward, AK, as she has done for ten years—raising tens of thousands of dollars. She has dedicated her jumps, first to her mother, who was lost to cancer, and subsequently to other victims and their families.
It was a packed house and a packed show of fun! Alaskans and Texans- in the same room! Only on the Big Alaska Show can such a combination co-exist in the same room.
