Once just a teenager growing up in Valdez in the ‘60s, Alaska Gov. Bill Walker regaled a Juneau crowd at the monthly Mudrooms storytelling event Tuesday night at Northern Light United Church. The theme of the event was “Back in the Day.”

One hundred percent of Mudrooms’ proceeds (it costs $7 for attendees to get in the door) go to local charities. In the five years it’s been in Juneau, the group has raised some $57,000. This season’s proceeds will be split between SERRC- Alaska’s Educational Resource Center, and Meals on Wheels in Juneau.
