Tania Spurkland with the Seldovia Arts Council provided these additional details:
“One thing that we kind of do want people who aren't really paying a whole lot of attention to what's going on at Jackaloff Bay is that that dock is not what it used to be. It has been dismantled, and it's in the process of getting…will get replaced. But right now, there isn't really room for boats to tie up there,” she said.
Following the race there will be awards at the pavilion in town and then a showing of Pier One youth theater’s production of “The Frog.”
Travel is available to Seward via the Seldovia Bay Ferry the night of the 24th at 6:30 PM. Details are available at seldoviabayferry.com.
