Gigglefeet Grants Now Available

The Arts Council, First City Players and Ketchikan Theatre Ballet sponsor and make possible the Gigglefeet Dance Festival.
Please return Grant application by July 13th at 5pm to the Arts Council, 330 Main Street. If you have questions call the Arts Council at 225-2211.
