Big Brothers Big Sisters would like to thank the following Haines businesses for contributing prizes for our first annual youth-adult disc golf tournament, held on June 27: Southeast Alaska State Fair, Haines Tesoro and Takshanuk Mountain Trail. We had a fine event, gave away great prizes and look forward to hosting the tournament again in 2016 in conjunction with our annual picnic. The Raven’s Bowl disc golf course at the fairgrounds is an easy, fun, free youth-adult outdoor activity.
