Homer Steps Up is a FREE annual community walking challenge for the Southern Kenai Peninsula. Every May, track your daily walks with your smartphone, wearable fitness tracker, or pedometer to win prizes and incorporate more movement into your routine.
Every Wednesday, we're giving $50 in Homer Bucks to 10 walkers who averaged 7,500+ daily steps. Then, the 3 teams with the highest average daily steps over the four weeks will receive $100-500 to donate to their Homer organization of choice.

Pickleball is a paddleball sport that combines elements of badminton, table tennis, and tennis. Two or four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a ball over a net. The sport shares features of other racquet sports: the dimensions and layout of a badminton court, and a net and rules somewhat similar to tennis, with several modifications. Pickleball was invented in the mid 1960s as a children's backyard game. ***ALL SKILL LEVELS ARE WELCOME!***
Classes are available for adults and teens (12+) on Tues/Thurs/Fri from 9:30-11:30am, Tuesdays from 7-9pm, Thursdays from 7-9pm (starts 5/7), Saturdays from 5-8pm, & Sundays from 10am-1pm. *These are the days/times available from May-Aug '26!

The Little PrinceBy Rick Cummins and John Scoullar. Adapted from the book by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.Directed by Sarah L. Brewer“Little Prince” painting by Jen DePesa
Location: Pier One Theatre on the Homer SpitPerformance Dates: May 22, 23 & 28, 29, 30 at 7:30 PM - 9:30PMMatinee Performance Date: May 24 at 3:00PM - 5:00PM_____________________________________________________
This play tells the story of a world-weary and disenchanted Aviator whose sputtering plane strands him in the Sahara Desert, and a mysterious, regal "little man" who appears and asks him to "Please, sir, draw me a sheep." During their two weeks together in the desert, the Little Prince tells the Aviator about his adventures through the galaxy, how he met the Lamplighter and the Businessman and the Geographer, and about his strained relationship with a very special flower on his own tiny planet. The Little Prince talks to everyone he meets: a garden of roses, the Snake and a Fox who wishes to be tamed. From each he gains a unique insight which he shares with the Aviator: "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly." "What is essential is invisible to the eye." At length, both the little man and the Aviator must go home—each with a new understanding of how to laugh, cry and love again._______________________________________________________"Produced by special arrangement with THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY of Woodstock, Illinois"
