This weekend, the University of Alaska Fairbanks will celebrate Starvation Gulch.

The annual fall tradition includes a bonfire competition, when students use wooden pallets to build the most creative fire with the highest flame.

Businesses or community members who would like to donate pallets or who have questions or concerns should contact the UAF Student Activities Office at 907-474-6026.

Bonfire-building will take place Saturday, Sept. 24th from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Taku Parking Lot. The bonfires will be lit at 10 p.m. and the event will include music, booths and a barbecue. The public is invited to attend.
