Homer Alaska - Anchor Point

The beginning of this week looked a little bleak, but Monday afternoon the sun decided to shine and seemed to put a few smiles on some faces out there. Seems we may have cloudy skies and rain in the forecast for our Fourth of July weekend of festivities, but that won't stop us from having a great holiday. The Anchor Point Chamber has some great events for the Fourth, and I would like to say thank you, chamber, and all your volunteers for all you do for our community — you make a difference.

Wishing every one a great weekend. Be safe and good luck on the water. Happy birthday, USA!
