Budtender’s Tips for a Great Fair Experience

1. Hydrate constantly. Summer heat + cottonmouth = no fun.
2. Pace yourself. You’ve got 23 days—no need to marathon it all in one.
3. Catch the All-Alaskan Racing Pigs. Pure joy, elevated or not.
4. Wear sunscreen & shades. Protect that skin and hide the red eyes.
5. Take breaks. The shaded “Happy Place” lounge (new for 2025) is perfect for a cool-down.
6. Stop by From The Earth. We’re minutes away when you’re ready for pre-game or post-fair relaxation.
