It is beautiful right now. I really want to invite everybody who is in the Gallery or watching on TV to come up to Alaska and visit. It will be the trip of a lifetime. I promise.

Oftentimes, they band together in creative ways. I would like to introduce today our Alaskans of the Week--Holly Christensen, from Palmer, AK, and Bree Hitchcock, who lives in Anchorage, AK.
