This is The Blue Tarp, stories of Alaska’s Northern Susitna Valley as told by those who lived them.  Today, we’re exploring another festival from Talkeetna’s recent past, Miner’s Day.  It’s another example of the sort of celebration that took place before large-scale tourism moved into the area, and just like Moose Dropping in Episode 3, elements of it continue through to today.  Join us as we take a closer look at the Miner’s Day festival.
