Christmas in Petersburg Alaska |
 The Festival of Lights ceremony Friday after Thanksgiving with the lighting of the community tree, music, and benediction to kick off the Christmas season in Petersburg with a schedule of special activities for residents and visiting family of this small, tight knit community. We enjoyed a wonderful presentation of the Nut Cracker put on by Steppin’ Out Dancers and featuring a troupe consisting of more than 40 Petersburg youth. A truly remarkable performance! The annual pickled herring and smoked salmon competition judging on December 14th at the Son’s of Norway is always a fun local event not exactly witnessed by every town. We just need to have more entries to compete with Helmer (Bill) Olsen’s fine pickled herring preparations that have dominated the contest longer than most of care to remember...
