Obeidi's Fine Art Gallery is one of Anchorage's largest galleries that features a wide range of artwork from artists from all over the world. Bateman and Brenders are just a couple of the names that adorn the many paintings that hang on the walls, and if there is a piece that just has to come home with you, you can purchase lithographs in the gallery's gift shop and have them framed in the shop next door.

The Alaska State Fair gathers many of the state's residents from all over and brings them together for a festival that is not only filled with music and food, but it recognizes all of the cultural and social differences that go to make Alaska the truly remarkable state that it is. Alaskans come to showcase their monster veggies, crafts, culinary creations and lots more. Also, there are agricultural contests, farm exhibits, the Alaska State Rodeo as well as nationally recognized performers.

Experience what it was like to pan for gold as you travel back in time to when Anchorage was the crossroads for gold rush adventurers. Maybe you'll hit the motherlode as you pan for gold in a setting that most closely resembles that of the early pioneers. It will be a fun afternoon of learning (and panning) for the whole family at Indian Valley Mine.
