Homer Chamber of Commerce hosted a luncheon on Wednesday, Nov. 8 to introduce new staff members, discuss benefits that the chamber offers local businesses, and share plans for upcoming holiday events and the City of Homer’s 75th birthday.
On July 5, the Homer Chamber of Commerce & Visitor Center announced the winners in this year’s Fourth of July Parade. The theme this year was “Seas the Day – Celebrating Homer’s Maritime History.” The U.S. Coast Guard were the parade’s Grand Marshals in honor of Homer’s recent designation as an official Coast Guard City.
Holy spectacular spring! Between the sweet sounds of the Sandhill Cranes returning, the spectacular views of the Northern Lights dancing, the pungent smell of mud and leaves decaying, and blades of grass, rhubarb bulbs, and the first flowers of the season bursting upward, the Betster is in sensory overload. Is the snow behind us? Who knows. Is summer catapulting towards us? Absolutely! When you need a break from ogling the skies and planning your garden, check out these Best Bets for fun, educational, and entertaining events and activities for the whole family.
The Betster has been busy putting away winter gear and gearing up for spring. Premature? Maybe, but I’m doing it anyway. So long, shovel. Hello, hoe. See you next year, skis. Let’s go, garden gloves. What can I say, I’m an optimist!
