New Attractions in Fairbanks

Friday July 3, 2009
Visitors to Alaska's interior city of Fairbanks can now enjoy two new attractions:
  • The Morris Thompson Cultural and Visitors Center
    This Fairbanks visitor center will offer a series of evening cultural programs throughout the summer. Highlights include Trimble Gilbert and youth dancers present 100-year-old traditional Gwich’in Athabascan dance and fiddle music; a dog mushing show with competitive sprint racer and Upper Tanana Athabascan, Jennifer Probert; and a program featuring the nation’s second largest park, including the film, “Gates of the Arctic: Alaska’s Brooks Range,” and dramatic readings from the works of pioneer conservationists Mardy Murie and Bob Marshall.
  • Chez World Cooking School
    Fairbanks visitors can learn the art of cooking with such Alaska foodstuffs as salmon, reindeer sausage, moose, halibut, sourdough, and birch syrup. Cooking demonstrations and hands-on dinner classes are offered daily.
