Talk on the Rock is KSTK’s live call-in show. Every Tuesday at 1pm we welcome a local guest to discuss events and topics of interest to our little island town. For this week’s episode, host June Leffler spoke with Alicia Holder with the local Chamber of Commerce, which organizes the 4th of July celebrations. Holder gave us the rundown of events, and prizes to be had. The theme is “Back to our roots”, and merchandise with Grace Cohen’s design is available at the chamber.

A full schedule of events, vendor/game/viewing maps, and boat race information is available online.

Wrangell, Alaska is a tiny island town that goes all out for the 4th of July. As part of KSTK’s video series on this year’s celebration, we spent some time with Jeff and Kay Jabusch. Their family has been building floats for the annual parade, for 40 years! 

Stay tuned for the rest of the videos this week.

All still photos were provided by the Jabusch family.
