REDSTATE (Ward Clark) - When Is a Moose a Beaver? When Buc-ee's Says So.

Don't get me wrong on this. I love Buc-ee's. I really, really love Buc-ee's. I love their business model; I love their snacks; I love their barbecue brisket sandwiches. I love that there is something so quintessentially 'Merican about a gas station that has over 40 pumps and a convenience store that's bigger than some whole countries in Europe. I'd love to have a Buc-ee's here, although Alaska is a long, long way from any potential Buc-ee's sites; besides, we have Three Bears, which is an actual by-gosh alcohol, tobacco, and firearms store, which is pretty Alaskan.

It started as a one-day event called "Fat Bear Tuesday" on September 30, 2014, before growing into a full week-long tournament.
