Upcoming Events
Spring Woodstock 2024
June, 15th 2024 -Please join us for our annual Spring Woodstock!
It has been a long winter, and at this event we get the property ready for the upcoming summer of activity. We will be tackling a bunch of projects, but not to worry, the crowd favorite, woodstock-ing will be on the list.
As always, we would be greatly appreciative if someone with a 4-wheeler or side-by-side could help out!
Sure, we will get a bunch of projects done, but this event is also a celebration of friends, volunteers and Manitoba in general! We will have snacks, beverages and hopefully even some music around the fire-ring!
Please drop us a line at mailbox@alaskahuts.com if you would like to join in the fun!
