ANCHORAGE, Alaska - With Valentine’s Day around the corner, local businesses in Anchorage are getting creative with ways to celebrate on Saturday, including candle making, love on the ice, and even an anti-valentine celebration.
Chester Minot, owner of Get Scent, has something different planned. He will be offering candle making classes. But these aren’t just for candle making; couples will listen to a live acapella group and have homemade Filipino food to snack on while their candles dry.“It’s not just a workshop; it’s more in the experience,” Minot said. “I love bringing my Filipino heritage to my business. So, I asked my parents and my aunties to make some food that day.“I want both of my world to kind of collide,” Minot said. “So, I brought in some a cappella, live a cappella singing here.”For couples that love the outdoors, the Sweetheart Skate might be for them. This event at Westchester Lagoon will feature Ice Skating for couples, music, hot chocolate, and a lighted photo opportunity, according to the “It’s one of my favorite events,” Ellen Devine with the Municipality of Anchorage Parks and Recreation, said. “It’s just a great opportunity to get out with somebody special in your life.”“One of my favorite things is we have these gorgeous sleds,” Devine said. “One looks like a swan ... and you can take your sweetheart around on the ice.”For the foodies, Alaska Berry and Board will put on workshop nights, where people can make their own charcuterie board. The first night is at Double Shovel Cider Company on Feb. 9, and the second event is on Feb. 13. at Odd Man Rush Brewing. Julieann Parker, owner of Alaska Berry and Board said this event is more than the typical Valentine’s Day date. “We like to provide food experiences, not just food itself,” Parker said. “We truly feel like it’s our love language... we are so excited to bring these to the community.”For those that don’t like to celebrate Valentine’s Day, Humpy’s Great Alaskan Alehouse will hold the Black Heart Ball Anti-Valentine’s Party, on Feb. 14.says to expect red flags and to bring a picture of your ex ... because the alehouse will be shredding it into confetti.‘The kids don’t deserve that’: Scouting America troop trailer worth thousands of dollars stolen3 junior hockey players killed in crash heading to practiceWhen and where to watch your favorite Alaskans at the Olympics‘Bad management’: Lawmakers blast DOC’s $24M ask—part of $1.1B emergency budget
