Anchorage, Alaska is a small city with a really big heart. The businesses in the downtown area are quite dedicated to keeping the city fresh, clean, beautiful and upbeat.

Last month, the businesses and their owners who have contributed the most towards these ideals were honored at the "Heart of Anchorage" award ceremony and banquet. I was on hand to help out with the auction items as well as raise money to help purchase the thousands of flowers planted yearly in the Anchorage area. I really have fun playing a "Bob Barker Beauty" with auction items on stage.

If you want to live in a well-appointed city, but still want a small-town feel, then Anchorage is your best bet!
