Tonight we had a great concert right here in Seldovia with the Grammy Award winning quartet – Riders in the Sky! Besides the colorful and very flashy outfits and witty dialogue, these gentlemen were a solid hit as they were smooth, professional and tons of fun! The room was crowded with folks from infants to seniors – and everyone had a fantastic time! This was not their first trip to Seldovia, the group came here 27 years ago – and they remembered us – even after all their fame and fortune with Grammys and Disney movies!

It was a true pleasure to spend the evening in the presence of such great musicians and accomplished performers – recognized in the industry! This was a real treat for Seldovia! Thanks for coming guys! I just grabbed these impromptu “hellos” from the group at the end of the concert – they were such great sports! Enjoy a fun and informal “howdy”!
Thanks to the Seldovia Arts Council for bringing these boys to town!
No Lutheran Service Today

I just received a message from Mike Webber saying that the Lutheran pastor called to say that his flight is cancelled due to high winds today. So, there won’t be a 1:30pm service today as scheduled. Ah, the challenges of living in a beautiful remote locale!
Good News For Seldovia
by Jenny Chissus
Sometimes, we can be discouraged about the apparent slow down of things in our little community, especially as we approach winter. A business that decides not to continue, residents that move away, kids that leave the school (due to a move out-of-town, or the home school option) can be disheartening for those of us left behind. Change is difficult, and it is hard to see old friends move away, retire or need to relocate for medical reasons. But take heart, as this year we had 10 new businesses join our chamber and only 3 didn’t renew their membership. This is progress!
The beauty is this, when one door closes, another opportunity becomes available for someone new, with new energy, ideas and enthusiasm to build a lifestyle in Seldovia. Each home that goes up for sale becomes a dream come true for a first time home buyer, retiree living their ultimate dream of summers in Alaska or new family to settle into our community! Last year, 36 properties came on the market and 17 sold, – I’d say that is pretty phenomenal for our little community! Continue Reading
