4th Annual Human-Powered Fishing Derby – A Great Success!
by Tim Dillon
The 4th annual Human- Powered Fishing Derby was held in Seldovia last weekend over the Memorial Day holiday. It was a great success with 32 boats registered carrying 39 anglers. The weather was very cooperative with a few drizzles on Saturday, and then sunshine and fair weather prevailed on Sunday long enough to make it through the fish fry without getting wet.

This is the 7th Annual Chainsaw event in Seldovia! We are blessed to have over 35 masterpieces about town for our community’s enjoyment! Many folks have made trips specifically to Seldovia to visit these creative works of art! Seldovia has become an “Outdoor museum” of sorts – with no admission – just the effort of getting across the bay.
You may Click Here or click on the poster at the top left to see “Where they are now?” which shows you the locations of all the carvings created in Seldovia since 2006.
This year, we are doing something a little bit different.
Every year, up until now, the Seldovia Chamber of Commerce had an agreement to retain the masterpiece carvings here in the city of Seldovia. Only Continue Reading
