Just got official word today that former Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens will appear next Thursday at Kodiak's 50th anniversary of statehood celebration.
The event kicks off the town's annual ComFish trade show.
"Sen. Stevens will be here for the commemorative seafood dinner, and he'll remain in town at least overnight," said Deb King, executive director of the Kodiak Chamber of Commerce, the ComFish sponsor.
The dinner, called "Look How Far We've Come," celebrates 50 years of seafood harvesting and processing in Alaska.
United Fishermen of Alaska will present Stevens with a Lifetime Achievement award at the dinner, a Chamber press release says.
And here's something else: UFA plans to unveil its first slate of 20 fishing industry Hall of Fame honorees.
The Kodiak Chamber of Commerce insults the people of Kodiak by allowing Com Fish to be turned into CON FISH....And now we get to see Stevens on the Hall of Shame .. wonder if that is for getting Crab Ratz tacked onto the budget omnibus bill and all the bucks he funneled to his prodigal son? Stevens, watch your back...
ReplyDeleteI agree. Ted has done more to put fish Money and jobs into the big guys in the lower 48 than he ever did to help AK.
ReplyDeleteA SHAME !!

“They’re not going to shoot us; it’s not Iraq, so what the hell. The worst that can happen to us is we wind up with a bunch of legal fees and might lose, and we might have to pay a little fine, might have to serve a little time in jail. I hope to Christ it never gets to that, and I don’t think it will.”
ReplyDeleteAnd another classic from the UFA? Lifetime Achievement Award, for Ted Stevens?
