The Antique Auto Mushers have been invited to attend the annual Eagle River Bear Paw Festival’s car show between the hours of 6:00pm and 9:00pm.

The car show actually starts at 6:00pm, but the show organizers would appreciate us arriving and setting-up our cars anytime after 4:00pm.

We will stage our cars in the same location as years past. There are 10-15 spaces reserved for our vehicles in the parking lot of Garcia’s Restaurant on Business Blvd. Access to this area is via North Eagle River Loop Road - then turn west (away from the mountains) onto Business Blvd (that’s the corner with the Taco Bell on it).

This is a large festival, with dozens of food vendors, arcade rides and booths hawking all kinds of merchandise. A real family friendly experience, and a yearly tradition for the Mushers.

Linda Mattes-Golding is the AAMA coordinator for this event. She can be reached via phone or text at: 907-351-3251 or email at: 1954lmg@gmail.com

Begin gathering in their front parking lot at 1:00pm.

This is a large and festive community event. If the weather stays friendly, there is usually a huge turnout of locals and tourists. Plan to have a good time with your cars, your friends and your family, downtown.

Here ye, here ye! 

Thursday at 2pm come all ye merry Mushers, to the humble castle of Art and Tam Isham, in Peter’s Creek, and bid a fond farewell to our Treasurer and friend, Louis Mestier, as he and his goodly wife Dimi, take flight and leave the friendly confines of South Central Alaska, bound for fame, fortune and a new life in Ontario, Canada. 

He shall be missed, eh?

Join your friends for good conversation, good food and cheap grog.

(Actually, there will only be desserts, coffee & tea). 

Cometh and bid the Mestiers farewell . . . and then eat enough pie that your trousers shan’t comfortably fit again for at least a week.

Please show up early to place signs and park cars prior to show start. (More details later.)

The car show, which after 18 years, has become something of a Homer institution, will be held at the Chamber of Commerce’s Visitor Center parking lot (same venue as the past few years) on Sunday the 18th, from approximately 10am to 4pm. The visitor Center is situated between our two hotels (Aspen Suites and the Ocean Shores), and only about a two minute drive from either, or a five to ten minute leisurely jaunt by foot.

After the car show, that early evening, our customary pizza/salad/dessert party with movies (always a lot of fun) will be held in the Aspen Suite’s conference room. BYOB (bring your own beverage). There will be a $10 contribution per person collected to cover the cost of the pizza and salads.

After lunch we will drive just down the road from the restaurant to Fred Meyer for a gas stop, followed by our final trek into Homer.
