Monday\, December 8th | 5-8 PM\nAfter a couple years off\, one of That Thing Goin On’s favorite events is returning – this year in Palmer at the Train Depot! ✨\nHere’s how it works: in the weeks leading up to the event\, donation bins will be set up around town to collect gently used toys (this is a great opportunity for parents to clean out unused toys before the holidays and pass them on to families who will love them).

You don’t need to donate to attend; as with all of our events\, they are open to everyone.\n???? A few highlights:\n• A free gift wrapping station\, run by awesome volunteers so you can wrap your finds right away\n• A kids’ play area with parent volunteers so grown-ups can shop without little eyes peeking ????\n• Did someone say SANTA? We couldn’t be more excited to announce that Santa will be in attendance and available for free family photos ????????!!\nWe would love for you to come be part of it – whether that means donating toys\, volunteering\, or just showing up and soaking in the community magic ????.

SUMMARY:Signing with Bailey Berg
DESCRIPTION:Bailey Berg will be at Fireside Books on Saturday\, December 6th from 1:00-4:00pm to sign copies of her book\, Secret Alaska.\nAbout the book:\nSecret Alaska: A Guide to the Weird\, Wonderful\, and Obscure takes you off the well-trodden trails and into the hidden corners of the 49th state\, where ghost towns whisper of boomtown dreams and where festivals allow outhouses\, giant vegetables\, and survival skills to take center stage. Between these covers\, you’ll discover everything from communities where locals launch cars off cliffs to celebrate Independence Day to what it takes to build the most remote homestead in the country. And along the way\, you’ll meet the unforgettable characters—from Indigenous leaders and bush pilots to gold miners and adventurers—who had a hand in shaping Alaska.\nFor those who crave the peculiar and the offbeat\, this is not your typical guidebook. It’s an invitation to experience the Alaska that tourists rarely see and locals love to share.
