Dear Community Members,
You and your business are invited to participate in this year’s Alaska HEMPFEST® 2018 on June 22, 23 and 24. Our free public festival is designed to educate, entertain and engage our guests in innovative and fun ways. Our guests are treated to many ancient, new and established ways to think about cannabis as medicine, paper, plastic, zero-net construction, bio fuels and nutritional foods and drinks.
Our goal is to bring the facts about the cannabis plant into the sunlight. We introduce Alaskans to the variety of opportunities cannabis presents as a renewable resource. We show how healthy, easy-to-grow, non-toxic cannabis products can replace many of the unhealthy and toxic medicines and necessities we depend upon and use.
This year our keynote speaker is Lance Mackey. Our theme is “Community Health & Wellness”. We’ve got free cannabis workshops planned (from salves to hash to hempcrete), free samples to give away and free entertainment. With your contribution, participation or support, we can bring important free education to the Valley.
AKHF promotes diversity, equality and collective support for good ideas, good candidates, good business practices and provides a showcase for them.
Win the Sleeping Lady Cup! Alaska HEMPFEST® is proud to announce its first Cannabis Quest competition. Categories include Commercial, Limited, and Home Grows, Flower, Shatter, Oil and Edibles. Deadline is April 15. Entries and judges contact stoney@cannabisquest.win or visit http://cannabisquest.win.
Cannabis Sativa, also called, hemp, is the low THC, non-drug strain that is used in 50,000+ 100% organic products including FOOD, FIBER and FUEL. Hemp is big business filled with 1000s of opportunities for the little guy. We believe Alaskan innovations have a rightful place in the future hemp market.
Many Alaskans are hungry for the knowledge their cannabis economy needs to flourish.
Whenever our spirits lag or the obstacles loom large, we think about the hope and excitement on the faces of the people who learned about hemp during the last two Alaska HEMPFESTS. These are tough times for many of our rural adults and children; there are not a lot of things that give them hope. Hemp is one of those things. Hemp gives them a peek at a future that isn’t so bleak.
Please join us in bringing the hope of hemp to Alaskans who want it and deserve to know more about it.
