Howdy EveryBODY,

This Saturday, June 23 at 11 am, you'll find ILC joining friends and family at WKFL Park for the PRIDE march to show support for inclusion of EveryBODY. And what a perfect week to register for the international compassion course at http://www.compassioncourse.org/, registration is open until June 27. 

Other highlights this week include two fun TRAILS activities: a bit of relaxing “horsetime” on Tuesday at Devony's Bay Ridge Ranch and Friday's lunch around a campfire at the Bishop's Beach Pavilion. Squeeze in all the outdoor fun you can as we near the end of June.  So here's the calendar with this week's ways to get outdoors: weekly events June 23-30.pdf

Another week with SO many ways to get out and enjoy Homer.  Here's the calendar:  weekly events June 16-23.pdf.  A special highlight of the week is the PRIDE march NEXT Saturday (June 23), described in the calendar (we all know that "inclusion" means including EveryBODY). 

Other highlights this week include the REAL Spit Run this Sunday (it's FREE, and what a great way to earn an ice cream cone) and a new TRAILS event on Wednesday: Fitness with a View—TRAILS' own Risa Jackinsky will help us stretch, align, relax, and strengthen sheltered by the Hornaday Park pavilion while enjoying spectacular views of the mountain and bay.  See you there!

Howdy EveryBODY,

Howdy Everybody,

I hope you're having a happy, thoughtful, sweet Memorial Day with friends and family!  (I've spent the weekend helping settle in a new housemate and her HORSE.  That makes 5 ponies for TRAILS to visit up here at Bay Ridge Ranch.)

No highlighted activities this Memorial Day weekend except last Saturday's Farmers Market, but things start hopping again tomorrow--Tuesday--with Libraries ROCK.  And this calendar takes us into June!  Here's the calendar: weekly events May 27-June 2.pdf  

It sure has started to feel like summer. That means TRAILS will be saddlin' up and ridin' off into the Cooper Landing sunset for our annual Alaska Horsemen's Adventures weekend. It's one of our favorite One Hit Wonders, check out others at: http://peninsulailc.org/TRAILS. 

For other fun things to do this week, how about celebrating “Libraries Rock” or the Farmers Market on Wednesday and Saturday (including Kids doing the sales next Saturday) or a big garage sale at Faith Lutheran Church. And of course, June's first Friday means it's time for a lovely stroll through Homer's art galleries from 5:00 to 7:00 pm on Friday. And don't forget, you can always check out recreation offered through City of Homer Parks and Recreation at this link https://www.cityofhomer-ak.gov/recreation/recreational-classes.

The Seward TRAILS program is busy in June!  please come and join us.

Howdy, EveryBODY,

It must be GROWING SEASON, because Homers Fabulous Farmers Market opens NEXT Saturday, May 26.  Stroll in for fresh produce, tasty food, varied crafts, and fun entertainment—including the Kenai Peninsula Brass Band at 1 pm. And since plants are budding out and greening up, this week you can buy plants (THIS Saturday) and learn how to make nettle tea and fruit leathers later in the week. Something for everyBODY!

Also this is a great week for listening to (and even telling) stories—check out events at the Homer Public Library on Saturday and Monday.

Happy Shorebird Weekend, TRAILS friends

Yes, this is the weekend when the town is alive with migrating birds and folks who've come to see them—it's the Kachemak Bay Shorebird Festival. To see ALL the great festival activities, pick up a schedule at the Homer Chamber of Commerce or check it out online: http://kachemakshorebird.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/SB18_Full.pdf. Some fun Shorebird events are highlighted in this week's calendar, but there are too many to highlight here, so grab a schedule and mark your calendar. Islands and Ocean Visitor Center is a great place to check out what's happening this weekend.

There are other fun activities too--so check them all out right here: weekly events May 12-19.pdf and get out and enjoy!
