Juneau Gold Rush Days set to return June 14-15
Mining and logging are two im- portant industries that have helped shape Alaska. Juneau Gold Rush Days pays homage to Alaska’s history, while celebrating the present and the future of resource development. Juneau Gold Rush Days is an ac- tion-packed celebration consisting of local fair foods, booths of arts and crafts, and activities for children. Contestants compete in mining-spe- cific events such as jackleg drilling, spike driving, and hand mucking, and logging events, like axe throw- ing, speed climbing, hand bucking, and log rolling. The event is free to the public, and supported by gener- ous donations from the community. Passionate people make Juneau Gold Rush Days successful. Juneau Gold Rush Days wouldn’t be possi- ble without dedicated, hard-working volunteers, contestants and commu- nity members.Organizers would like to thank them for their continued support of the event. Planning for this year’s event is underway, and organizers are asking for support. There are various spon- sorship levels available. More information: juneaugol- drushdays@gmail.com
