The Haines Chamber of Commerce would like to say a big thank you to everyone who came together to make this year’s Independence Day a success. That was not limited to our sponsors, Haines Borough staff, the police and fire departments, American Legion Post No. 12, the Chilkat Dancers, and all the businesses that decorated Main Street.
Some individuals who deserve special thanks include Phil Wilde, Annette Smith, Lee Heinmiller, Brian Clay, Deanna Strong and Diana Lapham. There is no doubt that many more deserve thanks; just know that you are appreciated. Without your help, this would not have been a reality. Thank you for all you did to make this a great community celebration. It would not have happened without you.
Andrew Letchworth, Haines Chamber of Commerce acting director
