"WE'RE IN," exulted the 6-inch-high front-page headline of the Anchorage Daily Times June 30, 1958.
The headline meant that the Alaska Statehood Act, already approved by the U.S. House of Representatives, had passed the Senate. When President Eisenhower signed the legislation a week later, Alaska was approved to become the USA's 49th state.
Fifty years later, the summer tourist magnet is planning months of celebration, featuring some of the state's biggest bashes.
