- JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) - Alaska communities can apply to host one of the Governor's Family Picnics this year. Governor Sean Parnell's office says that, for the first time last year, a community outside of Fairbanks, the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, Anchorage and Juneau was selected to host the annual picnic. That community was Glennallen. Parnell's office says the picnics are non-partisan events that are free to the public and paid with money raised by the host communities.
