We have a new fat Bear Champ! Bear 89 nicknamed "Backpack"

As Fat Bear Week comes to a close, we’re celebrating more than crowned champions and epic bear glow‑ups, we’re celebrating all of you!

Your votes, your posts, your favorite bear campaigns, and your shared love for Katmai’s wild places turned this week into a collective story shaped by thousands of voices. It’s a reminder that just like America’s 250th anniversary, traditions endure because people keep them alive.

This year, we honored resilience in our bears and in our nation, recognizing the landscapes, communities, and shared stories that connect us. Thanks for being part of the journey. Until next year, enjoy the bears, salmon, and human connection that keeps Katmai's ecosystems alive.

From Mrs. Pulley: The Ezard Elementary T.A.G. Class has officially started construction on their cardboard arcade, and things are getting REAL!

It may look like a whole lot of cardboard chaos right now, but underneath all that cardboard, cutting, taping, measuring, designing, and rebuilding is some pretty amazing learning. This project is creating opportunities for students to think creatively, tackle challenges, solve problems, collaborate, take risks, learn from mistakes, and inspire one another—all while having FUN!

A huge shout-out to area businesses, community members, friends, and families who have donated materials to help bring this project to life. THANK YOU! ❤️

WE COULD STILL USE DUCT TAPE!
Because apparently, no cardboard arcade is complete without approximately 47 miles of duct tape. If you have an extra roll (or two…or five!), our builders would be happy to put it to good use!

Stay tuned… this chaos is about to become an ARCADE!

Questions: Please contact Mrs. Pulley at [email protected].

This Saturday I’ll be doing my first book signing at Barnes and Noble!

Why did it take so long you ask?

Imposter syndrome…. Yep! I always just had this idea that a book signing at Barnes and Noble was reserved for the big dogs. Then one day I just went in and asked. And guess what?…

The manager was so nice and loved the idea.

Where: Springfield MO!
When: 12-5pm

Come get a signed copy of some fun books. Come say hi.

I’m going to try to bring some Cans of Farts and other fun Izzy B knick knacks you can’t get anywhere else. I’ll also have some FREE story cards to give to kids…. Maybe even some rare ones.
