Anchor Point gets ready for July 4th celebration

Here come those high gas prices again. I guess there is just no getting around paying high prices at the pumps. We can be thankful in Anchor Point that our local gas stations have blessed us with lower prices than Homer.

I hope you are getting out and enjoying our spring -- I guess it's still considered spring since the first day of summer isn't until June 21. Speaking of June 21, don't forget it is Father's Day. Happy Father's Day to all fathers near and far.

Have a great weekend, good luck on the water and be safe.

Anchor Point Chamber/Visitor Office

The ducks are in, the ducks are in. That's right the ducks are now for sale for the Fourth of July. You can purchase a duck at local stores and at the chamber office.
