Posted by Alan Batten in News.

Save the Date!—5th Annual Peace Feast to be held Saturday, June 4, noon to 2:00 at the Pioneer Park Wilderness Pavilion

Come help us celebrate at the Wilderness Pavilion (the one closest to the river). Dick Farris will provide his famous barbecued ribs and chicken. Please bring a dish to share and eating utensils if possible. This is a fun time to relax, enjoy each other’s company, and share ideas and interests. There will be short informal presentations by various groups and individuals on their activities to advance peace, justice and sustainability in the Fairbanks area.
