In fact, an alpha particle really is a nucleus-it's the same as the nucleus of a common atom of helium-but it doesn't have any electrons around it, and it's traveling very fast.

Kingsburg Swedish Festival, which is the biggest and most known festivals that bring people in from all over the country, is held annually during the third weekend in May. Activities include a Swedish pancake breakfast, a parade and the coronation of the Swedish Festival Queen.
But what we ...will take away from the festival are the happy faces and smiles of our patrons, the greatest group of patrons ever! Next year's festival is scheduled for Friday, July 28th & Saturday, 29th, 2017. As soon as information is available we will forward it to you so you can be prepared.
