Fairbanks’ Pioneer Park is turning fifty. The park, which opens for the season tomorrow (Sat), was built to host a 3 month long exhibition in 1967 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the purchase of Alaska. As KUAC's Dan Bross reports, the park has endured as a tourist attraction and community resource.
