So you want to be a star?

Homer’s rainy downpour Thursday dismayed Sherri Carr, on her way to be interviewed for a Vaseline audition that seeks to find an “amazing town” among three coastal locations.
Carr figured Homer should win out over Kodiak and Sitka for its scenic beauty and people. So she brought her photo album with her to the interview.
“I’m going to show them what it looks like on a sunny day,” Carr said, showing a photo of Kachemak Bay rimmed by its mountains.
Carr was one of about 30 people who filtered into Homer City Hall Thursday, gamely but not real sure what the interview would be about.

Homer's glorious gardens

Often overlooked, the delicate art and craft of gardening involves a whole lot more than just burying seeds in fertile soil and hoping the sprouts survive until summer happens.
Fortunately, the cool start to summer hasn’t delayed blooms in local gardens and the Homer Garden Club is again putting some members’ creative efforts on display for their annual show-and-tell this Saturday and Sunday.
