Clearing the Final Hurdle

June 30, 2008 | Tags: Statehood Celebration

The US Senate voted in favor of Alaska statehood 50 years ago today. By way of commemoration, the state of Alaska has recently introduced a website that serves as a jumping off point for 50th anniversary news and event information.

Remaining events in Fairbanks include the Forum of Young Alaskans:

A statewide conversation of the youth and young adults from around Alaska coming together to discuss the pressing issues and current challenges facing their generation. The Forum is based in three major hubs (Anchorage, Juneau and Fairbanks) as well as smaller hubs around the state. For more information see YoungAlaskans.org.
