After participating in an interactive and impermanent art event in California in 2004, Homer artist Mavis Muller was inspired to bring the idea home. Since that time, she has been leading the creation of Homer’s annual Burning Basket, a community-wide collaboration that brings to life a Basket of Remembrance &Unburdening.
This Betster hopes the rain will let up soon, for the sake of my strawberry bed — and more importantly, for the sake of everyone living in the flood zones out East End Road and Kachemak Drive. Flooding is no joke — the Betster hopes everyone is staying safe and as dry as possible. In the meantime, if you’re looking for things to do and ways to get out of the weather, there’s a bunch of looked-forward-to community events starting this week. Just check out these Best Bets.
