Photos from around the area top our most-clicked list again this week. Denali National Park is included, along with the Morris Thompson Cultural and Visitors Center here in Fairbanks. There is also a very interesting video taken at the Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum. Summer events also received good traffic.

New TV Spot: Experience Summer in Fairbanks

FCVB — Mon, 24 May 2010 18:29:08 +0000

We just began airing a summer TV spot, which you may see below. Great weather, midnight sun and an abundance of things to do are among the top reasons to visit! A typical summer weather forecast calls for sunny skies and nearly 80 degree temperatures – and there are always a bunch of great events scheduled.

First Morris Thompson Exhibit Photos

Every Fairbanks visitor should stop in at the Morris Thompson Cultural and Visitors Center at 101 Dunkel Street downtown. Not only is it the best place to find information on things to do and see around Fairbanks and Alaska’s Interior; it is also a place to experience a bit of the culture and natural beauty of the area within a series of world-class exhibits. These exhibits have recently been opened, but still have a long way to go before completion. We hope the photos below will give you a taste of what you may see when you arrive.

If you’d like to see how far the exhibits have come over the past few month, be sure to check out this video from July. If you indeed come to see us in person, be sure to pick up one of our just-released Winter Guides. You can also request one by mail in advance of your trip, or take a look at the filp-book style online version.
