BIG BEARS BIG VEGGIES 2024

Every year at the Alaska State Fair one of the main attractions is the giant prized vegetables with record-breaking pumpkins, giant cabbage, and impressive squash. But as HarvestFest ends, what happens to all the vegetables? The veggies head south to attract a different crowd. The growers and the Alaska State Fair generously donate the vegetables to the animals of AWCC.

Join us at the sanctuary to watch the Brown Bears chow-down!

• If you can’t attend in person, then join us via Facebook LIVE at 12PM AKDT on Saturday, September 7, 2024.

The veggies are on display at Bison Hall September 4 – 6, 2024!
