Remote Alaskan village holds annual carnival for children to mark the new school year
Fox News
Children have swarmed the streets of Akiachak, Alaska, for games and prizes in the village’s annual carnival marking the start of the school year.
Many children proudly displayed their prizes, including some wearing stuffed snakes around their necks — perhaps an odd prize choice in Alaska, which is "famous for its complete absence of snakes," the Alaska Department of Fish and Game notes on its website. (For the record, the nation's largest state has no lizards or freshwater turtles, either.)
