That’s Bernd Popiak on the left, one of the big winners in the “full beard” competition. Whoa! Hairy!! Actually, they were on my CONDOR flight, headed back to Germany and Switzerland. Folks–if that’s what it takes to get people to visit our wonderful state–then so be it! HA. I rememberdisplay3jpg

Check out the new “send a postcard” section of Anchorage’s new visitor website at anchorage.net !  Try it out! Win prizes, including glacier cruises! Click here to review the cards and send them to your friends and family. They need to come up THIS summer!!

Here’s a bonus: When your friends and relatives come north to visit, you get exclusive discounts from Anchorage.net . Sign up for the  “Friends of Seymour Club” for discounts.

Who doesn’t know that this year is the 50th anniversary of Alaska Statehood? There is a special section at anchorage.net with deals and itinerary ideas. Check it out–and help us celebrate!
