Seymour of Anchorage
Anchorage’s symbol of hospitality is Seymour of Anchorage. He and the “Wild About Anchorage” slogan and theme music were developed in 1981 as part of ACVB’s community pride campaign.
ACVB uses Seymour to build community support for the visitor industry by participating in community events. Staff and volunteers organize events such as National Tourism Week, the Torchlight Ski Parade and Seymour Fun Run. ACVB staff donates time and talent to many local organizations and events including the Anchorage School District, as part of the School Business Partnership, and youth-oriented events.
Seymour and the rest of the “Critter Chorus Line” (beaver, eagle, ram and brown bear) and the “Wild About Anchorage” theme song are available for special community events. Call (907) 276-4118 for details.
Convention Welcome Signs - Free
These signs welcome large conventions by name in member businesses. They are mailed out to all members who request them. Members place the signage in their business windows to encourage convention delegates to patronize their businesses.
