Homer Winter King Salmon Tournament – Harbor Conditions Update, March 13, 2026

The tournament committee met this morning to evaluate current ice conditions in Homer Harbor and review the weather forecast for the weekend of March 21.

At this time, there is a significant buildup of ice at the harbor entrance, icy conditions at the boat launch, and ice accumulation in many of the mooring slips. These conditions create an unsafe situation for launching multiple boats, limit the availability of overnight moorage, and reduce the capacity for vessels to exit the harbor safely.

For these reasons, the committee has decided to postpone the tournament by one week. The Homer Winter King Salmon Tournament has now been rescheduled for Saturday, March 28, in order to provide a safe and fair experience for all participating anglers.

The tournament committee will meet again on Wednesday, March 18, to reevaluate harbor conditions and assess any improvements.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through these conditions. The safety of our anglers and participants remains our highest priority.

If you have registered for the tournament and are unable to attend on March 28, please email wkt@homeralaska.org with your name, team name, and best contact information.

Updated information will be sent via email to registered and past tournament anglers. You can also follow the Homer Winter King Salmon Tournament on Facebook and Instagram for the latest updates or contact the Homer Chamber of Commerce office at 907-235-7740.

Thank you for your continued support of the Homer Winter King Salmon Tournament.

Bunnell Street Arts Center invites you to paint a commemorative art plate for the 32nd Annual Plate Project fundraiser. Paint during gallery hours, Mon-Sat 11-5 pm. Supplies are provided. Bunnell staff offer instruction and tips.

Every year dozens of Alaskan artists create unique art plates for Bunnell’s Plate Project. Bisqued, handmade ceramic plates made by local potters become canvases for brilliant food-safe underglazes. Plate painters are artists, community members, and Bunnell supporters — anyone committed to crafting an excellent plate that will raise essential operating support for the mission and programs of Bunnell Street Arts Center. Plates are exhibited at the Plate Project Opening in May (TBD) and competitively selected by new and renewing Bunnell members in thanks for $125 to $1000+ donations.

Painters may paint in-person during gallery business hours. This project welcomes adult and older teen artists, but requires a devotion to detail and a commitment of time to create a quality art plate. Painted plates are due back Tuesday, April 1, 2026. Contact Brianna Lee, b.lee@bunnellarts with any questions.

Pickleball is a paddleball sport that combines elements of badminton, table tennis, and tennis. Two or four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a ball over a net. The sport shares features of other racquet sports: the dimensions and layout of a badminton court, and a net and rules somewhat similar to tennis, with several modifications. Pickleball was invented in the mid 1960s as a children’s backyard game. ***ALL SKILL LEVELS WELCOME!***
