Community organizations in Homer have been making plans for the annual Homer Winter Carnival Celebration, which marks its 70th year this weekend with the theme “What’s Old is New!”.
It might be cold, but Homer is hopping! This Betster hope you all are ready for another year of cool Winter Carnival fun — better stake out your spots on Pioneer Avenue ahead of the parade this Saturday at noon to enjoy fun floats and grab for candy! Also this week is a performance and fundraiser by Homer High School’s own DDF team, a free movie night at Homer Theatre, a chance to win prizes at CACS’ Trivia night, and more! For details, check out these Best Bets!
Gather ‘round for the latest on fun and free community events! Kachemak Bay Campus has a full calendar of offerings, from another Know Your Land talk to the weekly Wellness Wednesday sessions. Don’t miss a free showing of “Our Souls at Night” at the Homer Theatre, in partnership with Hospice of Homer and sponsored by Homer Real Estate! This Betster hopes y’all are on track with putting together your parade floats and walking/biking/whatnot entries, too, for the fast-approaching Winter Carnival Parade! Lastly, get out and vote! — for Homer as the “Best Small Town Arts Scene,” that is, as part of a contest by USA Today! For details on these and more, take a gander at this week’s Best Bets!
Homer High School hosted the annual Poetry Out Loud recitation contest last Wednesday, Jan. 24. Students school-wide were tasked with memorizing a poem and high-scoring students were invited to participate in the student-body competition held in the Mariner Theater.
