Entertainment abounds in the Valley

To the editor:

Wow! Is there nothing the Valley cannot offer us? I just spent the most enjoyable evening at the concert of the Mat-Su Community Band.

Absolutely outstanding — and that was after visiting the Dorothy Page Museum with its exhibit from the Smithsonian, which is incredible.

The VPA’s production of Agatha Christies’s “Spider’s Web” is another A+ performance.

Between the programs offered in the community, churches and schools, there’s enough to keep all of us in the Valley busy and entertained for a lifetime.

    " Sally~
    Thanks for reminding us of some of the many wholesome and legal activities that there are to do with our loved ones in the Valley(as opposed to looking for hookers on craigs list!).The last time I bumped into you was outside of your hotel in Minneapolis (2008)when I swung in for a quick visit with your kiddos(and a few other Alaskans)before the RNC.Thanks for being such an amazing (grand)mama,loving wife,and excellent role model to us all. May God bless you and your crew!Again, thanks for reminding us of a few of the many things/that/make/ the/Valley/such/a/great

    " Have to agree with the smoke free comment. Respect your city and it's people and their health.
    Just like this paper states it's a gift to blog not a right. Well, take the smoke out side it's not a right. "

    " I think the Mat Zoo is non smoking. They have bands. Ms. Heath, the MatSu Community Band is well worth seeing. Had the most enjoyable night listening to them a few months back. The Smithsonian exhibit is supposed to be good; after your post, I think we'll go. Thanks! You know, smoking comes with the territory. Yeah, I smell like a cigarette, but it is not going to stop me from enjoying bands like The Connection at the Mugshot!!!! "

    " If you like Anchorage so much why don't you just move back there? Please........do us all a favor. We don't want your condescending big city attitude. Mrs. Heath, I agree. We do have some great entertainment here in the Valley. AND, I can not recall anybody ever smoking in the Dorothy Page museum or the highschools.......and what about the VPA? Newcomer, get off your highhorse. Get off your soap and enjoy what we have or LEAVE. "

    " Sally, I respect you, but there is really not very many venues in the Valley for musical performers, bands, trio's, etc... and if you do find one, it's almost always a SMOKING venue.
    The Valley needs to go NON-SMOKING EVERYWHERE, Like Anchorage has.... So that some people will spend what little expedible income they have for entertainment. Who want to go out and come back smelling like an old cigarette...Only smokers! ! Poor workers...
    Of course if you want to work for free, there is always a place. "
