Northern Valley Health Coalition
Contributed by Sierra Winter Smith, President of the Northern Valley Health Coalition
Join us for the Northern Valley Community Celebration on August 10th, a vibrant gathering hosted by Sunshine Community Health Center and the Northern Valley Health Coalition. This annual event brings together communities from Talkeetna, Trapper Creek, Willow, and beyond for a day of connection, fun, and community support.
Last year, we hosted over 40 vendors and raised funds for Sunshine Community Health Center's scholarship program through a lively silent auction. We also distributed 90 backpacks filled with school supplies to local students, making a meaningful impact in our community.
This year promises even more excitement with activities for all ages, including FREE traumatic brain injury screenings by the Alaska Brain Bus, educational booths from the Denali Education Center and Links Resource Center, valuable information from the Medicare Information Office and Department of Veterans Affairs, and creative offerings from local artisans like My Tye Dye and Artwork by Sierra Winter. Delicious food will be served by favorites such as White Moose Kitchen and The Mayor's Salsa, ensuring everyone's appetite is satisfied.
Already confirmed are stalwarts like Talkeetna Community Radio, Alaska Family Services, and the State of Alaska, among others, who are eager to engage with our community.
Calling All Vendors: We invite you to apply for a FREE 10x10 booth space to showcase your products or services and connect directly with our engaged Northern Valley audience. Whether you're promoting a business, organization, or creative endeavor, this is a prime opportunity to reach a diverse and enthusiastic crowd.
