Keeping you in tune to Our Community.

Michelle LeBeau, Deputy Director at the Anchorage Park Foundation, and Jimmy Riordan, local artist and creator of the Alaska Bookmobile, chat about the free Winter Movie Nights taking place this month and in February at the Cuddy Park Amphitheatre. It's a chance for the community to come together, enjoy a movie outdoors, and embrace winter the Alaskan way by dressing warm and making the most of the season. If there's one thing Alaskans know how to do, it's enjoy an event no matter the temperature.

Kelly grew up in the Midwest among farms and fertile soils. Outfitted with a B.A. in Communications and a minor in Film Studies, she moved to Nome, Alaska to work for a community-driven, nonprofit radio station. There she became versed in local radio, holding a range of jobs from Program and Music Director to producer and on-air host. Every day she’s in awe of the connection and companionship only local radio provides. When not working, Kelly and her spouse happily spend their time traveling, appreciating the true wild, and creating artsy things.
