Blue and Gold Day proclamationThe mayors of the three Fairbanks-area municipalities last week issued a proclamation declaring every Friday Blue and Gold Day. The proclamation was made in recognition of UAF's academic, economic and social impact on the Interior, and mirrors UAF's tradition of wearing its school colors on Fridays.

Mayors Brice Ward of the Fairbanks North Star Borough, Jim Matherly of the City of Fairbanks and Michael Welch of the City of North Pole signed the proclamation (PDF) on Wednesday, March 13. Ward formally presented it at the FNSB assembly meeting the following day.
