POKE OF
GOLD.
The Poke of Gold is hidden somewhere in Fairbanks. Watch for a new video clue each day, follow the hints and start searching.
WHAT IS THE
POKE OF GOLD?
The Search for the Poke of Gold is one of Golden Days' most beloved traditions: a community-wide treasure hunt hidden somewhere within Fairbanks city limits.
Each morning from July 19 through July 23, a new video clue is revealed across Fairbanks Chamber social media and on this page at 8:00 AM. The clues build on each other day by day, growing more specific and pointing ever closer to where the Poke is hidden. The first person to find the physical Poke and bring it to the Fairbanks Chamber office downtown wins the grand prize.
