Deadliest Catch Myth Buster Birthday!

We enjoy celebrating birthdays, especially with Mike Ferris our Deadliest Catch Myth Buster. We pulled out the stops!

20180901_100351.jpg

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!

Alaska Gold Rush!

Author, Steve Levi, is a great story teller and makes Alaska history fascinating. His description from his book of Alaska’s Gold Rush(es) is nothing like a John Wayne movie!

Talking gold was perfect timing for Valentine’s Day. We had the Anchorage Midnight Sons A Cappella Chorus join us to have some fun and promote their LOVE LINK.
