If you happened to be driving down Tudor Road in Anchorage last weekend you may have noticed a throng of people dressed in armor, medieval gowns and maybe even a dragon suit. That’s because we are in the midst of the Three Barons Renaissance Fair which runs through this weekend. On this episode of Hometown, Alaska host Dave Waldron speaks with a long-time board member about the fair and moderates a debate between the three Barons as they vie for the public's support to rule the realm of Hillshire.HOST: Dave WaldronGUESTS:Mel Kalkowski, long-time board member of the 3 Barons Fair and the Magistrate of HillshireBlue BaronRed BaronGreen BaronLINKS:3 Barons Fair WebsiteTicket information

Nearly 61 thousand households in Anchorage have pets. That works out to about 105 thousand dogs and 88 thousand cats. That’s a lot of animals — and a lot of animal waste. And pet ownership doesn’t just impact the people who live with the creatures. Caring for pets is both challenging and rewarding for veterinarians and their staff, too. This week on Hometown, Alaska, we’re talking to veterinarians about their mental health and pet care basics as well as taking a trip to the dog park to see how your actions affect everyone downstream.HOST: Anne HillmanGUESTS:Dr. Judy Montalbano and Dr. Tracy Ward, veterinarians, The Alaska State Veterinary Medical AssociationCherie Northon, Anchorage Waterways Council, Executive Director﻿LINKS:The Alaska State Veterinary Medical AssociationASPCA Animal Poison Control (888) 426-4435Anchorage Waterways CouncilBROADCAST: Monday, May 8th, 2023. 10:00 am – 11:00 a.m. AKTREPEAT BROADCAST: Monday, May 8th, 2023. 8:00 – 9:00 p.m. AKT

Alaska education has predominantly aimed its resources at younger generations to build them up early. Unfortunately, this can leave out older citizens who may be yearning to re-engage education and discover new skills, activities, and friendships. Since 2007, OLÉ! has existed in Anchorage as a non-profit organization aimed at providing older Alaskans aged 50 and up an opportunity to continue their education in creative and engaging ways. President board Gretchen Bersch and curriculum committee chair Bill Cole join host Justin Williams on Hometown, Alaska to discuss how OLÉ! began, obstacles they have had to creatively overcome and the mental and social importance of education in Alaska for its older citizens.
