Midnight Sun Festival

Posted by on June 23, 2008 in On The Road

It is the longest day of the year. No it was not 25 hours long–but it is the summer solstice. The sun is above the horizon longer than any other day in the year. The Midnight Sun Festival is here in Fairbanks– it is literally light at midnight. There were some 30,000 people attending this Festival.

IFC had a booth at the Midnight Sun Festival where we spoke to hundreds of visitors and many Alaskans about our efforts in Indonesia. We were there from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. We met people from Scotland, Australia, Canada and all over the lower-48 states. It was a beautiful day and we sold almost all of our Indonesian handcrafts.

This was great exposure for IFC and a really fun day with several volunteers manning the table.
