Celebrate Spring with Bagoy’s

“Alaskans need and deserve the beauty of Spring after our long, dark winters”, says Chanda Mines, Owner of Bagoy’s. Inspiration for this event came during a March snowstorm over 15 years ago. “We continually see how happy spring flowers make people feel…and even happier when we surprise them with a gift. So we do!”
