Everyone is trying to get our attention these days.
If you are reading this, I must have got your attention somehow which is impressive. They need and want the encouragement to keep going. I know when we have fire crews around Fairbanks, everyone asks what they need, and they always respond – thank yous. This is nothing compared to what the first responders and animal rescue folks are facing right now in Australia. This was a long fire season in Alaska, and by the end, Shane and the rest of the fire crews were EXHAUSTED (that is putting it very mildly). to 3 p.m., we will have a free in-store event where kids (well, really ANYONE) can make a thank-you card to Australian first responders and decorate a boomerang. We’d like to do our part, and the beautiful thing as a small business owner is that you can do so in many ways.
Well, did you know that Shane (one of the owners) use to be a wildland firefighter and is still a wildland fire medic? Did you know that Kyndall (the other owner) is a biologist? Needless to say, the devastating wildfires in Australia hit home to us in so many ways. What does Australia have to do with a toy store in Fairbanks, Alaska, you may ask.
