A night off-farm

What better way to unwind after long days of getting ready for our open house/reception and visiting with family and friends than to drive up to the Skaget Speedway for the final races of the season, complete with fireworks!?


Their slogan is "Where families go to have fun" and indeed, it reminded us of the Juneau Folk Festival, the way children were running around in the (safe, fenced) grassy area (wearing ear and eye protection) while the parents hung out in the seats watching the show.


The whole place felt like a very friendly, supportive, tight knit community. Even my uncle who passed away this year was remembered by the announcer. There were signs about that reminded visitors to keep it family appropriate by refraining from swearing and fighting. There were other signs that had a different kind of warning. More along the lines of "beware of flying car parts".
