ALASKAN HUSKY ADVENTURES

We’re Matthew and Liz Failor, a husband-wife duo who live with our champion Alaskan Huskies in beautiful Willow, Alaska.

Each spring, our team competes in Iditarod, Alaska’s thousand-mile race. Throughout the year, we welcome locals and visitors to our home to meet our dogs, see how we train and experience their own dog sledding adventure on our private trails with Denali views! In the summer, we use dog-powered carts that seat two people each, just like a sled! In the winter, we offer the option to ride with us or try mushing your own team.

Give us a call or book online today, your Alaskan Husky Adventure awaits!

THE HUNGRY DECKHAND

Established in 2022, after years of commercial fishing in Alaska’s waters, the dream of The Hungry Deckhand came to life. What started as a conversation around a campfire up north was now a reality - grilled sandwiches. When we first opened the window at Odd Man Rush, we were amazed with the support we were shown. After that, we figured we’d start with events and places we already frequented: Thompson Pass in the spring; the Kenai during the sockeye run; local breweries; and finally, taking on the State Fair in the fall. We are beyond humbled by the support our community, family, friends and the Coast Guard have given us at the window - it doesn’t happen without you. We are so proud to be recognized with Best of Alaska. We’re looking forward to continuing growing and learning each day to make your experience at the window that much better.

CLUB PARIS

Located in the heart of downtown Anchorage, Club Paris has been serving steaks and seafood to Alaskans and visitors alike since the late 1950s. Anchorage’s oldest steakhouse is housed in a building that was constructed in the late 1920s.

ANCHORAGE COMMUNITY THEATRE

Anchorage Community Theatre has been an ongoing tradition since 1953. For generations, ACT has been the place for Alaskans from all walks of life to come together and put on a great show. You can’t be this old without having made your mark on our city’s history. In 1957, we brought famed actor Boris Karloff to Alaska to perform in “Arsenic and Old Lace,” in 1964, the banner to our show “Our Town” hung over the ruins of 4th Avenue in the aftermath of the great Alaska earthquake. Today, ACT is 71 Years Strong! We offer not only a fun and engaging season of musicals, comedies, stage-classics and live radio plays, but also kids programs and actor training.
