Extra, extra! — extra time, that is, to submit to Homer Council on the Arts’ call for art for the “Finding Home” exhibit! If you have artwork that fits the theme and haven’t submitted it yet, now’s your chance! In other news, the annual Community Resource Connect event is coming soon, and Coop’s Coffee is accepting items for donation up to the event! If you have new or gently-used and clean items to donate, bring them by Coop’s Coffee out on East End Road. Otherwise, mark your calendars for upcoming weekly talks and the annual Winter Carnival Parade — and don’t forget to submit to the now-open Kenai Peninsula Writers Contest!
