Quana to all the volunteers who made the 2021 Omingmak Frolics a memorable one during pandemic. There were many events cancelled to keep social distance, but many outdoor events happened as well as virtual challenges by video. So many residents participated, both young and older.
About 100 or so went on the fishing derby and camped overnight, the whole weekend or week. Kids had the most fun with being allowed to enter certain events. Weather was so amazing, so now you see everyone tanned and brown.
We are so grateful and thankful for all the hard work the frolics committee and Omingmak Racing Committee and Ambrose Aknavigak Memorial Fishing derby committee did for their community in order for the festival to be successful. Quana to the community of Cambridge Bay for all your support and to the local businesses and organizations for your donations so many to list. It was a beautiful time to be outdoors and staying safe and healthy. Big quana to Zach Cziranka-Crooks and his gang.
