    Chena is always great, especially if it's a clear night and the auroras are out.

    As for other stuff, depends on what you are in to. The UAF Museum of the North is one of the top rated attractions in the state. I don't think LARS (Large Animal Research Station) does tours in the winter, but you can inquire at the University. Santa Claus House in North Pole is a tourist trap, but if you have young kids you can find some good Christmas-themed gifts for them. Yukon Quest headquarters are on 1st Ave downtown...if you want to know more about dog mushing and the Yukon Quest (generally considered the toughest race of its kind in the world), that's the place to do it.

    Denali Park is about two hours south, but access is limited in the winter.

    HooDoo Brewing and Silver Gulch are great spots to grab some brews. Skinny Dick's is worth the drive if you are into cheap beer and logo wear of two bears humping.

    In the unlikely event you brought skis or snowshoes, the UAF campus encompasses over 2,000 acres and has an extensive trail network.

    As for eats, in no order: Lavelle's Bistro, Turtle Club (really), Pumphouse, and any of the Thai restaurants (don't ask me why, but for whatever reason Fairbanks has really good Thai food). For an awesome piece of pie, check out Hilltop Truck Stop on the Elliott Highway north of town.

    Check out any of the transfer stations and you might find Alaska Hockey incognito.

    Also, the Face Off Club has its weekly luncheon at the Alpine Lodge on Friday. Ferguson and Pearson will both speak.

    And generally speaking, ignore anything Anchorage people say about Fairbanks. It's a small town with friendly people that doesn't take itself too seriously. Have fun.

      The Pipeline (stop and get in the pics you take) on your way to Silver Gulch brewery , Chena Pump House wax recordings up high on the wall, the museum at UA_ is worth your time. Northern Lights should be pretty good. Probably don't have your swimsuits along so Fred Meyer cheap shorts will work for Chena Hot springs. Unless you don't know what a dogs butt looks like skip the dog sled ride.

        UAF made the kind of hockey history on October 10th 2015 that no team wants to claim – the Nanooks became the first NCAA Division I victim of Arizona State.

          Uh-oh…when you get your parcel post from Fairbanks remember it's the thought that counts.

            So, which one of you knuckleheads planted the technological flag on the Charles Bunnell statue?

              You know more about the Fairbanks dump than anyone else I know. I'm actually impressed.

                  MTU Hockey fan since I was carried to a game in 1986 - for those counting... that's a lot of depressing hockey. Still love it.

                  Surrounded by Badger Red in Wisconsin. Such an ugly color, but the beer and cheese are delicious...

                        I hope your not too economical or lethargic to go out to Santa Clause House and at least get a North Pole cancellation on it? But for you to part with it …it will be special.
