The Betster is on the brink of marching outside, banging pots and pans together and shouting “Bring on spring! Bring on spring!” If I have to shovel my walkway clear of snow one more time, I might lose my entire mind. Thankfully, there’s plenty of distractions from the temperamental weather going on lately. If you’re looking for something to keep your mind off more impending snow, check out this week’s Best Bets!
Believe it or not, spring is approaching — and Homer’s upcoming community events are starting to reflect that! Take part in a plethora of events and talks centered on gardening and growing things, from another installment of the bimonthly Know Your Land talks hosted at Kachemak Bay Campus to a new series of seed workshops to be held at the Homer Public Library. If you haven’t submitted to the 26th annual Kenai Peninsula Writer’s Contest yet, here’s your last reminder before submissions close on March 2! Don’t miss out on this opportunity to be published! Finally, mark your calendars for the triennial Kachemak Bay Science Conference, coming up soon! For further info on all this excitement, check out these Best Bets!
Farewell fall, and hello winter — make way for all the snowfall! This Betster would like to remind everyone to please drive safely on these icy roads and in the early dark. There’s so much community activity in store that would be a shame to miss out on!

For this and more, and all the details, check out these Best Bets!
The spooky day has gone away, and it’s time to gear up for the weeks of winter and holiday events ahead!

Get some tips on planning next year’s garden, learn some neat things about marine mammals, take in a romantic guitar recital, or enjoy one or more of the numerous art calls and shows coming up on the calendar!
