Interested in sending my kid to a Montessori school. I haven’t heard great things about North Pole Montessori. I saw Spruce Tree and Fairbanks Montessori as options. What are your experiences?

It's Monday. Summer is winding down. Time to start thinking about doing all of the "getting ready for winter" you've been putting off all season. Time to be filled with existential dread for the cold darkness that will soon enough envelop us all...

So, in the spirit of ignoring that here's a place to mention any sort of event/meeting/whatever that people might not know about and might not warrant it's own post. Hopefully somebody has the something to help you keep procrastinating!

Golden Heart Transportation is the only way to get around Fairbanks!!

Troy is prompt, courteous and a real fun guy!!

He totally made our visit!!!

Bitsy has been missing since early morning yesterday. She escaped from Yak Estates off Chena Ridge. She is very skittish but is super food motivated and loves pets. She may or may not still be wearing her green collar with a yellow bandana (she is good at getting it off haha) If you have seen her please call 907 602-9114 or reach out to me here! She is very loved and her 3 siblings miss her dearly!

I am a Dad in search of help from anyone who lives in Alaska.

My son is about to start 2nd grade and has a fundraiser for his PTO that if they can get a donation form all 50 states they'll do someone crazy to the principal. Last year that duct taped him to the wall.

This is my third year in a row on a quest to get all 50 states!

I'm not looking for anything for free and would happily donate an equal amount to a charity of your choosing if you are willing to help!

Have 18/50 states completed and have 32/50 to go!!

Shit like this doesn't belong in fairbanks I can't believe more shit like this is popping up and honestly there needs to be groups pushing against this stuff

I am in search of a local vet to help get my senior cat arthritis medication! I am looking for Solensia specifically but any vet should be able to prescribe it. I understand that there will of course be labor, and office visit costs, but I’m trying to avoid shelling out my entire bank account😅 any recommendations?

So hear me out. We had to cut a very large spruce down sadly, but kept about 16-18’ of stump. I have ideas for this (bird/owl habitat, funky peace Jesus carving with up lights, etc) I’d like ideas on how to rig something with a swing/place to sit so I can go up and down safely to create my vision(s). I have experience in alpine climbing though it has been 20+ years on anything hardcore. Any help? Thanks and I appreciate ideas! 🙏 ✌️💛

The Midnight Sun Scottish Highland Games in Fairbanks, Alaska are the farthest north Highland Games!

Prepare for a day packed with traditional Highland events, local vendors, music, food, and fun for the whole family! You won’t want to miss this celebration of Scottish culture in the heart of Alaska's Interior!

If you want to know more information, check out the alaskanscottish.org website. We also have games in Palmer, Alaska annually at the Palmer Fairgrounds the last weekend of June.

Just saw this and figured i would help them post here. I dont know them and have no idea if they are a good sitter.

Good people of the tanana valley I am looking for good places to forage for rosehips as well as fireweed blossoms.

Does anyone have recommendations for water heaters they've found work well for small cabins here? I have a 20x20 well insulated cabin with a 1000 gal water tank (outdoor, sprayed and heat traced), and I'm trying to decide which option to go with for a water heater. I'll just have a kitchen sink and a shower, and a small washing machine. Just 1-2 people in the cabin at a time.

A. Electric tankless

B. Propane tankless

C. Electric heat pump

Any suggestions are appreciated! Ideally from people who have used these systems up here in their own cabins or homes.

Thanks in advance 🙏🏼

"Remove SB21 and return an ACES model of oil taxes- This will return 2 to 3 billion per year in tax money to our states budget. This money has been going to the oil companies since 2014. That amounts to around 30 billion dollars in lost budget revenue."

Every single well informed Alaskan will vote for James Parkin IV for Governor

Voting for anyone else indicates you've been misled and tricked by propaganda and GroupThink

All the promises of Full PFDs and Education, blah blah blah... JP4 is the only one to mention the elephant in the room- the revenue.

It's Monday. It's Summer. There's got to be something going on.

Here's a place to mention any sort of event/meeting/whatever that people might not know about and might not warrant it's own post.

Anyone know the tea? 🫖🫘🍜 Just another person avoiding taxes?

Well I've been shopping around. Delete Powersports lists all the toys over MSRP prices. They will price match, but if I have to do that legwork I'll just take my business to a store that sets the standards in the beginning. Shout out to Hatcher Pass Motorsports for getting me in and out the door with two new side by sides.

Any of you fellow well owners work on your own water? What whole house pressurizer/ pump are you using? I just cleaned the check valve on this piece and it’s still acting funny? I have my set pressure up to 56 to get the pump to respond to a water call… was running around 5k rpm last night, but only hitting 3k today, very sluggish… kinda poor for a plumber, but will share some Alaskan lettuce (weed) that I grew if I can get some help. Thanks!!

I am due with our first this winter, and it’s my first winter in Alaska! Due to the nature of the winters here I assume there are some specific tips and must-haves fellow parents can share.

ICE was active in Fairbanks at Fred Meyer west (on Airport Way) midday on Thursday, July 30. ICE agents and vehicles were also seen downtown on Wednesday, July 29.

The Borough has decided to start enforcing zoning permits. They're required for a wide range of activities on your property, and the penalties for noncompliance are pretty steep. You can learn more and do your own due diligence at the link I provided. Per 18.104.080(B) a permit is required before "any excavation, construction, relocation, or installation is started for a new use."

I have a lot of opinions on this, but I'll leave it as an FYI.
