A warm sunny day greeted the crowd in Girdwood, AK for the 43^rd Annual Forest Fair on Friday. The fair continues on Saturday with more warm sunny weather in the forecast and Sunday when the weather is forecast to make a turn for the worse in the afternoon. Booths line the winding paths in the forest along the Alyeska Highway in the community park area. Arts and crafts are for sale including booths for Girdwood kids to sell their crafts. Three stages at the fair feature live music. Fair organizers urge visitors to leave their dogs, politics and religion at home.
