The American Bald Eagle Foundation would like to thank you all for supporting the 25th annual Alaska Bald Eagle Festival. Our participants this year enjoyed Haines and our locals who joined in the fun! We are so grateful for our research talks with Anthony Crupi and Rachel Derbyshire, our 3rd annual BirdTalk participants, our local artist who joined in on our bazaar at the ABEF, the folks at Takshunuk Watershed Council for the Wild and Scenic Film Festival, and the Jilkaat Kwann Heritage Center for hosting the Eagle Ceremony. During the ceremony Senator Jessie Kiehl presented The ABEF with a Legislative Citation commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Bald Eagle Festival. Thank you to our celebrity Chef Travis Kukull for an amazing meal and our Chamber of Commerce for keeping the fun rolling all night hosting our cash bar. The evening topped off with our auction and live music by Sunny North Extension and Gene Kennedy calling our square dance in the dark with our power outage. Our guests had an unforgettable experience celebrating the bald eagles, and we would like to say thank you to Haines for sharing yourselves and the wonderment of the Chilkat Valley.
