Keep your calendars close and your schedule reminders closer — Homer has a lot in store for folks in the coming weeks! Time is almost up to submit art for the HCOA and Homer Public Library’s “Where we live” exhibition — hurry and get those submissions in! Check out other free events like the library’s plant swap, the Center for Alaskan Coastal Studies’ weekly presentations and the next Wellness Wednesday talk at the college, sponsored by South Peninsula Hospital! And of course, start planning for the big milestone — Homer’s 70th annual Winter Carnival and Parade! For information on these and more, take a look at this week’s Best Bets.
