Ready for Snow…2nd Annual Gear Swap a Success!
by Damara Burnett
Approximately forty bargain-shopping Seldovians showed up last Saturday for the Annual SRSA Outdoor Gear Swap, many leaving with “new-to-them” ski or skate gear . . . just in time for the fresh snowfall. Sellers earned cash for their sold items, and an additional $120 was raised through a chili and cornbread lunch to purchase snacks for winter youth ski outings.
Volunteer Craig Barnard was also on hand at the Swap to help new skiers try out different ski gear and get inspired to hit the backcountry. A special thank you to Craig for all of his enthusiasm and energy to help get people – young and old – outside and having fun!
Also – please note that the Seldovia Sea Otter Community Center now has a new website! Please go directly to www.SeldoviaRec.com to see all the latest happenings, calendar and updates!
Community Signs Discussions to be held November 27
by Tim Dillon, Dillon & Dillon
To everyone in the community:
I am holding a community meeting on Wednesday, November 27 from Noon to One, in the Sea Otter Community Center to discuss SIGNS.
This discussion will be one of two community discussions I will sponsor over the next three weeks. We as a community need to prioritize where signs are needed, what types of signs they should be and what they should say. As a starting point I indicated on the Byways grant that we will have signs at the OtterBahn, Rocky Ridge Trail and in the new Gateway Pavilion to be built on the harbor front.
These signs will be interpretive and informational. They will be fairly large and are required per the grant award. In addition to these signs we need to prioritize directional signage through the community to assist visitors. We have all seen tourists standing here or there with maps in their hands wondering which way to go. We need to address this issue for sure.
Please show up and help out.
Tim, Ila & Amelia Dillon
