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!
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.
