It is now officially summer. Clouds seem to be covering up our much needed sunshine but I'm not giving up hope that it's still on it's way. There soon will be sounds of thunder our way. Hoka Hey riders are headed to beautiful Alaska. Let's give them a big welcome as they pass through Anchor Point on their way to the end of a 7,000-mile ride. Good luck to all the riders and may your journey be safe. It will be a very busy July 4th this year with many warriors amongst us. Passing by the Anchor Point Chamber reads a sign "The Ducks Are In." Have you bought your duck yet? Stop by the chamber or one of our local businesses to purchase a duck. Have a great weekend, be safe and good luck on the water. Anchor Point Chamber of Commerce Anchor Point has many fun and interesting activities to make your time here memorable.
