he Associated General Contractors, or AGC, of Alaska parking lot on Schoon Street in Anchorage was hopping July 11 as AGC members gathered for burgers, beverages, and the bucking salmon, which made its second appearance at the annual event.

The event was an opportunity for AGC members to network and to discuss the Construction Leadership Council’s mission to grow the next generation of leaders in the construction industry.

And, of course, to test their mettle and ride the salmon to a championship record—which is just what Cezar Plascencia from Anchorage Sand & Gravel managed to do. He stayed on the salmon for seventeen seconds, enough to earn him the championship belt buckle.

AGC of Alaska would like to thank the CLC Steering Committee; STG Pacific, LLC; Polar Supply Company; and Northrim Bank for sponsoring the event and ENSTAR Natural Gas for supplying the grill.
