hanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, the annual Bowl-A-Thon held in Fairbanks was placed on hold. But the Associated General Contractors of Alaska Fairbanks Task Force debuted a new event on March 27: An ice fishing tournament held at Birch Lake.

The event drew twenty-nine teams, who competed to win awards for the longest or heaviest fish. While it’s not clear if the tournament will become an annual event, organizers say everyone had a lot of fun.
