💎🪨 WHAT A FAIR! 🪨💎

I want to give a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who stopped by The Mineshaft AK during the Alaska State Fair! Whether you came to visit, say hello, make a purchase, or just see what kind of trouble I was getting into with rocks and gems — I appreciate every single one of you! 😂❤️

The first two pictures are me and my little buddy Kelley. His parents own the Crab Shack, and Kelley is one very special young man. I’m always happy when I get to spend some time with this kid! ❤️

Next up is one VERY happy lady with her new Mac Daddy Bucket! Her husband got a Starry Night Bucket, and their son got a Dino Dig Bucket. Apparently, nobody in that family was leaving the fair empty-handed! 😂🦖💎

The fourth picture is me with my friends Robert and Amy. Friends stopping by the fair always makes the long days a whole lot more fun!

And the last two pictures are some seriously happy kiddos whose mom got them ALL FOUR Kenai Explorer Buckets! That’s enough rocks and gems to keep those little prospectors busy for a while! 😂🪨💎

Thank you to every customer, every friend, every kid with big eyes, and every rock lover who came by The Mineshaft AK. You made the 2026 Alaska State Fair one heck of a good time, and I’m already looking forward to the next adventure!

Until the next fair… keep digging, keep exploring, and keep finding the good stuff! 😎💎🪨

I want you to meet a very special young man named Jackson! ❤️

And let me tell you, I think he was a VERY happy young man! 😁

Jackson’s mom and dad, John and Mercedes, are pretty amazing too. They are the people behind the reconstruction of The Mineshaft AK, helping make it even better so everyone can enjoy it more — and making my life a whole lot easier along the way! 😂❤️
