In about two weeks a group of people will venture off on a canoe to paddle to Juneau for Celebration. Celebration is one of the largest Southeast Alaska Native gatherings. It’s a biennial festival held by SeaAlaska Heritage Institute. The last time people paddled to Celebration from Wrangell in their own canoe was in 2014. So, a decade ago. Other communities will meet in Wrangell as well this year to make the paddle journey. Two paddlers, John Martin and Corey Marsden, speak to KSTK's Colette Czarnecki about their experiences and what they're looking forward to for this upcoming journey.

Episode 11 of Talk on the Rock. Sue Bahleda talks with KSTK's News Director about her role as a pastor at Island of Faith Lutheran Church in Wrangell. She also chats about how she and her husband, Bill, made it to Southeast Alaska from Michigan, which involves her own journey from being an American Sign Language interpreter to ministry. She discusses the church's community movie nights and her love for movie scores, show tunes and trivia. Later on in the show we surprise her with a trivia match that she plays with the Wrangell Sentinel's reporter, Mark Robinson.
