Second Bethel Community Fair engages residents
Bethel Community Fair
A myriad of handmade projects shown at the Bethel Community Fair.
The Bethel Community Fair last month at Yupiit Piciryarait Cultural Center engaged area residents in a host of activities.
Landon Burke took home the Bethel/Anchorage round-trip ticket generously donated by John Hastie with Alaska Airlines. All Bethel Fair community entries that won first place in class and first place in category had their names put into a hat and the winner of the drawing was announced during the intermission at the Emma Hill concert during intermission on Saturday night. The Bethel Fair thanked Alaska Airline for their generous donation.
