2008 Taste of Alaska

Tanana Valley State Fair

Every year, the Fairbanks Soil & Water Conservation District gets together with the local producers and sets up a fabulous display of products for the fair guests to sample.  Even though the growing season in the Tanana Valley was stunted by the cold, wet weather - the 2008 Taste of Alaska was better than ever!  Thanks to the support we receive, our event gets bigger and bigger every year!
