Homer Alaska - Letters

It has been said over and over how fortunate we are to have so much talent in this town. This letter is to say it again, Sam.

HCOA had a fundraiser at Alice's on Friday night that has got to be the fundraiser of all fundraisers. What fun! What talent! The Marimba Madness Concert was the best fun we've had all winter. It featured three local, outstanding marimba bands (Rufaro, Shamwari and Tamba) who rocked the house. If anyone missed out on these performances, their winter is surely going to be much longer now.

Rufaro is one of the newest marimba bands in town. The players are elementary-aged young gentlemen who wow this spectator every time she hears them perform. You guys are awesome.

Shamwari and Tamba are bands (just as awesome) who have proven that you don't have to be kid to be able to boogie down. Thank you all for the hard work you've done, and for sharing your marvelous talent and music.

The fun didn't stop there. HCOA threw in an auctioneer who was equally as entertaining and fun to listen to, as he helped bring in more, well deserved funds for the Homer Council on the Arts.

HCOA, thank you! And do it again!
