If you have been to The Wagon Wheel Marketplace in Wasilla, you have probably seen the art works of Glenda Field. Chances are that you may even own something she painted. Glenda spent many years in Fairbanks Alaska
where she embraced her teaching career. While there, in the early 1980’s, Glenda took an art class from the now famous Bob Ross (the Joy of Painting). She tells me that it was always in her heart to paint, but she never really got into painting until she retired from teaching. She and her husband now live in Wasilla where Glenda enjoys
painting in her beautiful art studio. Glenda primarily paints with acrylic and watercolor. She has hosted art classes here at the shop and also has her art displayed in The Aurora Gallery in Anchorage.
At the Wagon Wheel Marketplace we feature her greeting cards, a variety of small original canvas paintings, hand painted glass that include wine & beer glasses, oil decanters, butter dishes and more.
One of my favorite cards (they are all pretty) is a Christmas Chickadee she painted at one of our Open House events a few years ago. Happy Painting Friends, it’s never too late to start!

A Face In The Crowd and Anonymous Music Lover
Many artists have discovered that CD sales have declined significantly in recent years, and that streaming has become the primary method of music consumption. Platforms such as Spotify, Amazon, and iTunes have become crucial for musicians to promote their work. That’s exactly what Everret Hamilton has done, from right here in Alaska.
Playlists, in particular, have become an important tool for artists like Hamilton to gain exposure. Most streaming platforms use playlists, and to get on these playlists, musicians must submit
their work to the playlist curators. Sometimes this information is public, but other times it requires some research to uncover.
Additionally, Spotify has its own curated playlists, and artists can submit their music for consideration.
Regarding video game music, Everret Hamilton has composed soundtracks for several projects, including podcasts, indie films, and video games. The artist also accepts commission work for those who want custom music for their projects.
Hamilton is married to his wife Stefanie, with whom he has been in a
relationship for 12 years. They have a 15-month-old daughter named Lillian. He has been playing music since he was 14, following in the footsteps of his drummer father. He has played in various bands throughout the years, and has also published several video games and apps. Everret and Stefanie have built their home in Palmer.
Becoming a father has been a wonderful experience for the musician,
and he and his wife have relished every moment of parenthood. Despite the challenges that come with raising a child, they have thoroughly enjoyed every stage of their daughter’s growth.
They look forward to continuing their journey as a family and are excited to see what the future holds for them.
Everret Hamilton’s music is available on various online platforms. Fans can listen to his music on Spotify, as well as on his personal YouTube channel, which he operates under his name, Everret Hamilton. He posts visualizer videos of his music on this channel.
Additionally, his classical music can be found under the name “Warlock Symphony,” while his heavy metal can be found under “Eternal Outrage,” and his electronic music can be found under “DJ Revenge.” Fans can access his music easily and enjoy it on their preferred platform.

It’s hard to believe, but it’s been four decades since, in the fall of 1982, Sutton Community Schools was looking for an aerobics instructor. I had been a member of the New Archangel Dancers in Sitka for years and still wanted to dance. I bought an aerobics tape and, to my surprise, there was “Can-Can” music on it! I was thus inspired to get some volunteers and put together a little “Can-Can” dance for an up-and-coming Alpine Civic Club event. We performed our first dance March 19, 1983 and never looked back! The “Borealis Dancers” were born!
After a few months of traveling all over South Central Alaska doing our little one and one half minute dance,
we eventually added a Russian folk dance and a “Charleston”. Aerobics was no longer on our minds! Since then our repertoire of dances has greatly expanded. While the plan is basically to keep our dances old fashioned, we basically do what is fun! We have been performing at the Alaska State Fair every year since then, except for 2020 of course (when the fair was shut down for Covid), the Coal Miner’s Ball for thirty years and also many years for the Pioneers of Alaska, and of course, numerous others yearly throughout the region.
Each performance is planned around the performance time available, who all in the group will be able to make the show, and, if possible, honor any request from the hosts. Our dances range from various nationality folk dances, clogging, tap dancing to popular “era” dances like the Charleston. Sometimes we just do some silly fun dances with outrageous costumes! Costumes are as colorful
and as reflective of the type, era and nationality of the dance being performed. I have made most of the costumes over all these years, and now have quite a selection from which to choose for various occasions and body types as you can imagine!
No previous dance experience is necessary to join the Borealis Dancers. We work with whomever wants to dance! Age is no problem. I’m over eighty myself! We have a fun atmosphere and really get to know each other in what I would call a “Dance Sisterhood”. We are here for each other.
People ask me how I got started in dancing. During an interview I had two years ago I replied:
“The Eagle’s Hall in Portage, Wisconsin had a dance hall upstairs and bar downstairs. So my parents would come to the dance because they didn’t drink anyway and they put me as a baby in a cardboard box with a blanket in it and
set it on the band stand. So, it is easy for me to learn folk dances and things because as soon as I crawled out of the box, I started walking and running around and people would drag me out of the dance floor. So, I just kind of learned to dance as I learned to walk”.
The rest is history! We are a loosely constructed group. While I am the director, everyone else is encouraged to let their opinions and preferences be known. My motto is: “If you can walk, you can dance!”
Clogging practice is on Monday Evenings from 6:30 to 8:00PM and regular practice is on Thursday Evenings at the same time. You can even visit for a time or two before deciding to join. Our only costs are shoes ($20 for pumps and $10 for flats) and tights that are about $7. We also have a monthly fee of $20 to help keep the studio up and running.
For any questions or directions to our studio, call me directly on (907) 3556505.
