For those who liked the 4th of July Parade, here is a sequel:
ONLY IN ALASKA:
JOIN IN THE FUN AT TODAY'S 4OTH ANNUAL BEAR PAW FESTIVAL IN EAGLE RIVER ALASKA
The Below Linked Playlist begins with a video of aerial stunt planes fling over the 40th Annual Bear Paw Festival held in Eagle River Alaska to commemorate summer, build community, and foster relations with Eagle River's local military residents. (FWIW, thIs first video in the Playlist had over 1,000 views in its first hour of posting on YouTube.)
At the end of the Playlist is a video of the festival's most popular event, the Slippery Salmon Olympics. Alaska's own Senator Dan Sullivan appears in the video as a competitor with his "Team Sullivan."
Sandwiched between the first video of the aerials and the final video of the Slippery Salmon Olympics are a series of videos taken of the festival's Grand Parade.
(The parade is notorious for likely having the most candy handed out by the parade participants of any parade in Alaska, if not the United States.)
