Winter knocks at Anchor Point’s door

By Jennifer Henley

Scraping off the windshield earlier this left a few snow tracks. Yep, that’s right — snow is in the forecast for the Kenai Peninsula. Fall has passed, the leaves are almost gone and the snow is here. It’s time for those winter coats to come out of hibernation. With winter heading this way, make sure you allow yourself enough traveling time to get where you need to go. We sometimes forget that we need to slow down a bit when the fluffy white stuff hits the highways. Have a great rest of the week and be safe.

Anchor Point Chamber of Commerce

The skirting on the building is up. The chamber building is all lit up and awaiting the holidays.

Anchor Point Senior Citizen Center

Thursday night dinner is served at 6 p.m. Cost is $5 for members and $7 for nonmembers. Friday night is bingo, starting at 7 p.m. The bazaar will be from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Nov. 4 at Chapman School. This is a great time to do some Christmas shopping.

Chapman School

The school is still selling Halloween raffle tickets. Tickets are $1 each or six for $5. There are many prizes to be given away.

There is no school Thursday and Friday because of parent-teacher conferences. Saturday is the big Halloween carnival from 6:30-8:30 p.m.

The school’s first basketball game is Tuesday at 3:30 p.m.: Nikolavesk vs. Chapman at Chapman.
