In far Western Alaska on the Bering Sea coast, the Toksook Bay Blackberry Festival brings people from across the region together for a Labor Day weekend celebration of community. KYUK reporter Evan Erickson was there to catch the live music and dancing in the Nelson Island School gymnasium and learn a little bit about the history of the region. He caught up with KYUK Senior Reporter Emily Schwing to share what he saw.
