Gnomes are popping up on trails and roads in the McKinley Village area south of Denali National Park. Turns out, they are part of Gnome for the Holidays, an outdoor event designed to bring families together and inspire togetherness, during this time of COVID-19. Outdoor enthusiasts are invited to take selfies with the gnomes and post them on the Facebook page "Gnome for the Holidays." The gnomes will be in place until Jan. 2, 2021. Then, they will find new homes in exchange for a $20 donation to the McKinley Park Community Club. Kris Capps/News-Miner
