Arctic Refuge subject of talk, film in Tahoe City

Alpenglow Sports’ own Brennan Lagasse will be featured Dec. 14 at 6:30pm at the eighth Tailgate Talk of the season.

Lagasse will share his first experience in the threatened Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The night will include a showing of Patagonia’s film about the Arctic Refuge, a slideshow about Brennan’s adventure and activism, and short films about the Gwich’in people, the land, and the wildlife in the region.

A Night for the Refuge will bring Lagasse and several of his former students together to discuss their experience in Arctic Village in Alaska, the southernmost Native village on the border of the Arctic Refuge. 

The event is free at the Tahoe City shop. Beer and pizza will be served with all proceeds benefiting the Gwich’in Steering Committee.
