• Eagle Pack Pet Foods, Inc. - Website
  Eagle Pet Products, Inc... Pioneers In The 1980's... Leaders Today As a family-owned company that makes its own pet food, we pioneered the holistic/whole-health approach to nutrition in the 1980's. Custom supplements included kelp, probiotics, the Science of Sequestering, OMEGA HEALTH™, yucca and more. Today, these and other whole-health supplements are added to our quality ingredients in all our cat and dog foods.What makes a pet food a super premium and what makes Eagle Pack different from the others? The brand was the first to introduce an extruded, meat-based diet, with no soy. And it made meat the first-listed ingredient.To this highly digestible meat-based diet (we believe it is the most highly digestible diet available) the company then included custom supplements. These are ingredients that contribute to the long-term health of the family pet, or as we say, "Whole-Health Ingredients - Enhancing Pet Health"™.The Holistic, Whole-Health Supplements include prebiotics like beet pulp and inulin, yogurt type probiotics, digestive enzymes, Omega 3 fatty acids for Omega 6:3 balance, kelp, yucca, the 3 primary antioxidants, glucosamine and natural preservatives. All Eagle Pack diets contain most of these supplements. Recent introductions also include fruits and veggies and organically grown ingredients.Our family owned company takes pride in the manufacturing of our pet foods. Employees are personally involved in the world of dogs. They show, field trial, and breed. Also, one of their staff is a former AKC Judge. Many claim cats as members of their family.We believe that pet owners are caring for their pets today as if they were their children, and the Eagle Pack family is happy to oblige. We make the food ourselves, in our own plant, so quality is personally controlled. Eagle Pack diets use human-grade ingredients, there is no beef in the food and there are no pesticides used on the grains.Holistic, Whole-Health ingredients and custom supplements in our diets, plus strong consumer service programs and strong trade programs, have earned us expanded distribution in the United States and Canada, and in over 40 additional international markets. The company is seeking international distributors in world markets not yet covered. We offer exclusive areas and contracts and the quality of ingredients and supplements noted above. For international inquiries, contact J.D. Cocquyt at jdcweb@eaglepack.com .

• Spenard Builders Supply - Website
  Back in 1952, Anchorage was a very different place than it is today. The population had just passed 30,000 and the intersection of Tudor Road (or 44th Avenue as it was called then) and Minnesota Road was a dirt crossroads in the semi-wilderness of Spenard. The Alaska Railroad tracks ran nearby, however, the lifeline for most of the freight coming into Southcentral Alaska at that time.
  
  George A Lagerquist and A.J. Johnson selected this site for the first Spenard Builders Supply, which opened with three employees and sold primarily lumber and plywood. In the 50’s and early 60’s Anchorage was experiencing one of its “boom” periods in both the public and private sectors. In particular, the military was expanding its presence in Southcentral, which had begun in earnest during the Second World War, and the population was growing rapidly. In fact, the population would more than triple, to over 90,000 people by 1962!
  In 1964, the Good Friday Earthquake, one of the largest recorded quakes in history, did extensive damage to SBS facilities and much of the rest of Southcentral Alaska. The store opened for business the next day, and helped Alaskans rebuild their homes and lives. Only three years later, disaster struck again as fire destroyed the entire SBS facility, including warehouses, offices and inventory. Once again SBS managed to open for business the next day in two small salvaged cabins.The 70’s saw not only the expansion of the Alaskan economy, but of Spenard Builders Supply as well. The building of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline in the mid-70’s brought a flurry of activity and another population boom as Anchorage and the rest of the state grew by more than 40% during the decade. Pipeline contractors, businesses involved with producing oil on the North Slope and those providing material and services all across the state all fueled the economy.
  
  Late in the 70’s and early 80’s Spenard Builders Supply grew with the rest of Alaska’s economy. Lagerquist’s two other Alaska yards, one in Anchorage and one in Fairbanks, became branches of SBS, and several Superior Building Supply yards were acquired from Palmer G. Lewis Co.. New SBS yards were built in Eagle River and Sitka as the economy topped out again in the mid-80’s, and was followed by a recession of unprecedented proportions. The middle years of the 80’s were tough for Alaska, as oil prices fell, construction ground to a halt, banks failed and thousands of homes were left empty as their owners left the state. The population of Anchorage dropped from a high of 248,000 in 1985 to a low point of 219,000 in 1988 before beginning to recover.
  
  The 90’s have seen slow and steady growth as the Alaskan economy diversifies. Retail, tourism, mining and fishing have all played a part in this stabilization. SBS has expanded in the 90’s to Barrow, on the Arctic Ocean and Seward, on the Kenai Peninsula, and we now have 13 yards as well as three distribution centers, two in Anchorage and one in Tacoma, Washington.
  Spenard Builders Supply continues to play a role in building Alaska, from remote cabins to big-city high rises, schools to apartment buildings and everything in between. We can design your kitchen, deck or truss roof, build custom windows or countertops, and deliver to your job site, no matter where, and all with the best brand name products in the business.

• Risdon Rigs - Website
  You may notice some changes from past models as we have seen the opportunity to improve our products. We have a continuing program of experimenting and testing. In our efforts to market the best equipment for you, we receive input from several drivers including DeeDee Jonrowe. If you don't see what you want, give us a call.

  Sleds: All sleds are made of select grade white ash... we heat the shop with the material that doesn't meet our standards. All sleds except the Shadow recreational and toboggan now come standard with graphite reinforced runners. Aluminum brackets hold the stantions to the runners. This makes the runners tilt when you flex the sled for better control on corners. All bent wood except basket boards and toboggan runners are laminated. Sleds come with QCR, bridal, and wide brake. The only option is lashing the basket, and handle height.

  Rigs: All training rigs are made of round tubing. There are no sharp corners to tear up you or a dog. They have sturdy rub-rails, T-bar steering, heavy duty handle grips, front fenders and a 1-inch side rail on the standing platform so your feet wont slip off.

  
  
• Polaris Industries - Website
  For almost 50 years, Polaris has been making machines that not only take you out there, they offer you a way out. A break from the routine. An escape from the ordinary. A moment of freedom. Snowmobiles came first in 1954 and quickly established a track record for advanced engineering. All-terrain vehicles followed in 1985, and since their introduction have set the standard for performance and innovation. 1992 saw the arrival of our personal watercraft and their unprecedented combination of power and comfort. Then in 1997, the Polaris RANGER was born, creating a whole new class of off-road utility vehicles. In 1998, we introduced Victory Motorcycles, and four years later turned the motorcycle industry up-sidedown by launching the first factory custom-order program and the sleek Victory Vegas cruiser. Now, Polaris is applying nearly 50 years of engineering and design expertise to a new line of commercial-grade utility vehicles and equipment: Professional Series Workmobiles™.Of course, there's more to having a great time than just a great ride. So we also make Pure Polaris parts and accessories designed to match our machines better than anything off the shelf, and a full line of apparel and collectibles to stylishly capture the spirit of Polaris. We even offer financial services to make getting on our machines, and out into the open, easier than ever.Today, we have over $1.5 billion in sales worldwide, with engineering, manufacturing and distribution facilities all across the Midwest, and wholly-owned subsidiaries in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, France and Great Britain. It's been a fun ride, but then, after all these years, that's what we're all about.

• All Creatures Veterinary Clinic - WEBSITE
  All Creatures Veterinary Clinic, Inc. (“All Creatures”) was established in 1984 by Dr. Joanne Rehn. Dr. Rehn began the practice out of the back of her truck. When she opened at our current location in June 1985, she had one veterinarian, herself, and two support staff members, a technician and a receptionist. The practice has grown over the years to employ six veterinarians and 15 support staff. The clinic building has also grown considerably with the first addition of the reception and examination rooms finished in 1995. The latest addition was completed in 2005 and contains a spacious new waiting room and five examination rooms. The parking area has also been expanded and now contains ample room for employees and clients.

  Over the years, All Creatures has treated anything from horses to snakes. As the clientele has changed, the practice found it necessary to discontinue large animal services, and focus on dogs and cats. The exotic animal portion of the practice has grown as well.

  During the extensive Miller’s Reach Wildfire of 1996, we housed as many as 75 animals for people who were displaced from their homes. There were dogs, cats, chickens, and even a llama housed here for a short time. The staff donated many hours for these animals. We also treated several of the burned animals from the fire with great success.

  We have been voted Number One Veterinary Clinic in the Mat-Su Valley in the Frontiersman poll for several years running. We have been listed in Alaska Business Monthly as one of the top 50 women owned businesses in the State of Alaska for 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007.

  All Creatures has been an associate member of the American Animal Hospital Association since 1996. We have provided free first aid training to the Alaska State Trooper dog handlers, and have annually proudly supported famous Iditarod dog musher DeeDee Jonrowe.
