Kendall Ford of Soldotna was excited to welcome Miss Rodeo Alaska, Emily, to the 2026 Soldotna Rodeo season! We were proud to partner with the Soldotna Equestrian Association and host a table at the rodeo festivities.

One of the highlights of the day was providing little tiaras so Miss Rodeo Alaska could crown rodeo princesses for the day. We also had a great time deputizing young Kendall Auto “Sheriffs of the Kenai Peninsula” with their very own badges!

From squishy bulls to ringing cowbells, we hope everyone had a fantastic time at the rodeo. As this year’s Bull Sponsor, we’re excited for all the action, excitement, and community fun still to come throughout the season.

Thank you, Emily, for spending the day with us—we can’t wait to see everyone at the next rodeo event!

This year, we rolled up our sleeves, unleashed the dinosaurs, and entered the Battle of the Potties at the Alaska Run for Women—and we’re dino-mite excited to announce that our Jurassic Potty took home 1st Place!

With over 5,000 participants and an estimated $250,000 raised in the fight against breast cancer, the event was packed with incredible energy, community spirit, and some seriously creative competition. Out of 22 potty-tastic teams, our prehistoric masterpiece stomped its way to victory!

A huge shoutout to Teresa, the mastermind behind the Jurassic magic. From the larger-than-life ideas to every tiny dino detail, your creativity, hard work, and dedication turned an ordinary porta-potty into a Jurassic destination. Let’s be honest—this may be the only porta-potty people were actually excited to stand in line for!

Kendall Ford of Soldotna just went full Jurassic for a great cause, and the results are dino-mite

Thanks to our amazing community, we raised 5,000 meals and collected 330 pounds of food to help support kids on the Kenai Peninsula this summer!

Did you know that 1 in 5 children face food insecurity when school is out? That’s a T-Rex-sized challenge, but together we made a stomping HUGE difference!

From tiny raptors to mighty brontosauruses (and everyone in between), our community showed up in a BIG way to help ensure local kids have access to nutritious meals all summer long.

🦴 5,000 meals raised
🦴 330 pounds of food collected
🦴 Countless lives impacted

Thank you to everyone who donated, shared, cheered us on, and helped us turn compassion into action. You helped prove that when a community comes together, we can make extinction-level problems a little less scary.

The food drive may be over, but the impact will live on all summer long.

From all of us at Kendall Ford of Soldotna: THANK YOU for helping us stomp out childhood hunger!

Kendall Auto of the Kenai Peninsula was honored to sponsor this year’s KSRM Radio Group St. Jude Radiothon and Country Cares for Kids. Together, we helped raise an incredible $90,514 in support of St. Jude and its mission to never turn away a child because of a family’s inability to pay for medical care.

Our team had the amazing opportunity to join the DJs and connect with the community about this incredible cause. Callers from across the Kenai Peninsula rallied around these children, making a meaningful impact and showing the power of generosity in our community.

Kendall Toyota of Anchorage was geared up and ready to send it at this year’s Sink or Skim at Hilltop!

Who likes to party? We like to party… costume party, that is!  Contestants brought their A-game for the costume contest and absolutely sent it.

From speeding down the mountain to hitting jumps and rails, it was an epic battle across the pond. Huge shoutout to everyone who showed up, showed out, and made it unforgettable!

Kendall Toyota of Anchorage was fired up to bring a fresh new winter feature to Hilltop Ski Area.

We hope you lapped the Toyota rail, slashed the custom Toyota emblem, and dialed in your park lines at the all-new Toyota Winter Feature Playground. Whether you’re on skis or a board, this setup is built to keep the progression going all season long.

 Hope you grabbed your crew, stacked some laps, and can’t wait to bring it back next year!

As the world’s longest and toughest snowmobile race—covering over 2,300 miles across Alaska—this year pushed racers to their limits. With high winds, low visibility, and ever-changing trail conditions, it proved to be one of the most challenging and unpredictable races in Iron Dog history.

Huge congratulations to Team #7, Tyler Aklestad and Nick Olstad, for taking the overall victory!  Tyler secured his 5th career title, while Nick earned his 7th—tying the record for most wins in Iron Dog history. An incredible achievement in some of the harshest conditions the race has ever seen.

Kendall Toyota Alaska was proud to be part of the action, sponsoring a brand-new Toyota Tundra for this year’s event!  Raffle participation reached record highs, and we’re thrilled to congratulate all of the lucky winners—especially the new Tundra owner!

Thank you to everyone who made this year’s Iron Dog unforgettable.

Kendall Auto of the Kenai Peninsula was hopping with excitement, bringing the Easter Bunny to Soldotna!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to snap a photo—we loved seeing all the smiles and celebrating with our community. We had such a great time and can’t wait to do it again!

Kendall Auto Alaska was honored to accept an award from the USO in recognition of our support of their mission to provide service members with a true “home away from home.”

We are humbled by this recognition and incredibly proud of the work we’ve accomplished together. Supporting our military is deeply important to us, and we couldn’t ask for a better partner than the USO.

Thank you to all who serve—and to the USO for the meaningful impact you make every day.

Kendall Toyota of Anchorage was honored to attend the Anchorage Cops for Community (AC4C) Annual Gala. It was a wonderful evening celebrating the incredible work AC4C does to create positive opportunities and support for youth in our community.

We are incredibly grateful to have been recognized for our partnership and support of their mission. Throughout the year, our team has the privilege of joining AC4C in impactful programs like the Lisa Whitmore Shop with a Cop and Firefighter event, Bikes & Badges, and RACKD (Random Acts of Cop Kindness). Each of these initiatives helps create meaningful connections and positive experiences for at-risk youth.
