Ketchikan, Alaska - The Ketchikan Health Fair, Alaska's largest single site health fair, will take place on Saturday, November 5th, 8am to 1pm at the Plaza Mall. This year the Health Fair will feature the first Alaska visit of The Colossal Colon (nicknamed Coco). Coco's visit is sponsored by Ketchikan General Hospital, First City Council on Cancer, Ketchikan CHARR, and the City of Ketchikan.
Cancer of the colon and/or rectum is diagnosed in more than 140,000 Americans yearly. "And this isn't a disease limited to the elderly," said Deborah Aaron, MD, Chair of the KGH Cancer Committee and one of the prime movers in bringing Coco to Ketchikan. "About one in nine cases affect people under age 50", Aaron stated.
At 20-feet long and four feet high, Coco is a replica of a colon that features polyps, cancer and even hemorrhoids. Coco has appeared around the nation at health fairs, state fairs, malls and sports stadiums to draw attention to this often-preventable disease. In addition to viewing Coco, visitors may pick up a variety of information on colon cancer, including colo-care kits.

Is this a part of the "Bridge to Nowhere"?
Nevermind, I'm not "Inuit" so I won't "Anchorage" you.
Ketchikan, in fact, IS the location of the "Bridge to Nowhere"!
Ask me for details if if you desire.

I read the headline and assumed that Katie was taking the Today show on the road again.
Let's send this post to Washington-D.C., that is
Aw shucks, I visited Ketchikan too soon.
Kind of looks like a giant whack-a-mole with all those heads popping out like that.
Most humble "thankyouverymuch" to You, Very Kind Sir!
That's the Spirit!
Now let us all ELIMINATE any misunderstanding about the intent of my post.
Kerry is salivating over the photo-op potential of this.
Suit up!
And in other news, Mr. Whipple will be replaced by Mr. Colin Powell on the NEW! IMPROVED! Gigantor-Size! Charmin bathroom tissues....

Keyboard Spew!!!
That is a visual that needs fleshing out. I know there are artists on who can morph the Kerry-in-the-whatever-suit-emerging-from-who-knows-where photo into this Coco image.
Please?
IOW, it's a . . . semi colon.

Polyps, Cancer and Hemorroids...sounds like the leadership of the democrat party.
