The Issac Evans post sponsored the 4th of July celebration in 1922, the first since 1917 which was primarily due to railroad construction and the WWI. The town was "all in" as it was a grand time for Alaska and the new American Legion Post wanted to celebrate in grand fashion. The Auxiliary of the Isaac Evans Post planned and creaged a replica of a Salvation Army WWI dougout where they served donuts and hot chocolate.
