brought to you by Northern Waste visit their website today @  northernwaste.com, 1958 - President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the Alaska Statehood Act into law. This monumental legislation paved the way for Alaska to officially be admitted as the 49th U.S. state on January 3, 1959, culminating decades of advocacy by territorial leaders - The push for statehood had long been championed by key political figures, notably Delegate E.L. "Bob" Bartlett, Governor Ernest Gruening, and future Governor Bill Egan. President Eisenhower signed the act without fanfare, simply stating, "Well, that's 49". The historic moment was celebrated locally with massive bonfires, including a famous one on the Park Strip in Anchorage, and the shortest banner headline in the Anchorage Daily Times: "WE'RE IN. - Sarah’s background and story, a life dedicated to the outdoors, guiding bears in Kodiak, transitioning to shooting instruction, coaching the shot under pressure, shooting games, PRS (Precision Rifle Series), NRL (National Rifle League Hunter), Young Guns, the shooting match game, bear charges, red light/green light, wobble zone, representing Leupold Optics, Leupold’s new  BX-HD Binoculars, Range Finders vs. Built in Range Fining, AWP trivia brought to you by Connoisseur Crude, 1915 1st running of the Mount Marathon 5k Race in Seward, AK, 1st Champion James Walters, Allie McLaughlin holds the all-time women's record for the Mount Marathon race, The world record for the longest rifle shot on a target is 4.4 miles (7,774 yards), Rapid Fire brought to you by Alaska Gun Co., closing statement and big shout out to Chad, Caleb Stillians, Sarah Leupold Optics & Accurate Advantage!
