www.AlaskaMiners.org 35 Mining and logging are two important industries that have helped shape Alaska. Juneau Gold Rush Days pays homage to Alaska’s history, while celebrating the present and the future of resource development. Juneau Gold Rush Days is an action-packed celebration consisting of local fair foods, booths of arts and crafts, and activities for children. Contestants compete in mining-specific events such as jackleg drilling, spike driving, and hand mucking, and logging events, like axe throwing, speed climbing, hand bucking, and log rolling. The event is free to the public, and supported by generous donations from the community. Passionate people make Juneau Gold Rush Days successful. Juneau Gold Rush Days wouldn’t be possible without dedicated, hard-working volunteers, contestants and community members. Organizers would like to thank them for their continued support of the event. Planning for this year’s event is underway, and organizers are asking for support. There are various sponsorship levels available.
