On April 15th, our three mayors - Fairbanks City Mayor Terry Strle, North Pole Mayor Douglas Isaacson, and Fairbanks North Star Borough Mayor Luke Hopkins - joined together and wrote the AWG International Committee to announce Fairbanks' intention to bid for the 2014 Games' Host Community. As our elected representatives, they expressed our community's capacity and enthusiasm for staging this impressive, international youth sports competition and cultural exchange.
