Congratulations Moosealanche for their championship win last night in a double header against the very determined Mountain Madness. They won the 30th year of our treasured Cooper Landing Softball Tournament. Cheers to you and well done!
The CLCC would like to thank all those who made this event possible. First off, thank you Dan Michels our Captain of Teams and the tournament! Your years of dedication to this game is so valued and appreciated. We’d like to thank Kenai Princess Lodge, Wildmans, Two Brothers Roadhouse, Alaska Wildlands Adventures for their donation of food and meals that everyone attending gets to enjoy. It is the one week of the year that many get a break from cooking! To the volunteers for field maintenance, scorekeeping, the scoreboards, umping, split the pot ticket sales, and singing the national anthem, thank you for braving the elements and keeping us on track, and in the moment. For all those who stepped up and helped at concessions, we sincerely appreciate your hard work. Your participation helped raise funds for the CLCC, CL School, CL Chamber, CL Trails & Walkables, CLSCCI, CLES and CL Library. To those who donated items for the silent auction and Julie Almarode, thank you for another successful and fun silent auction, the main fundraiser for CLCC of this event. To our Gaming managers John Almarode and Rhonda Lynn, thank you for making sure all our paperwork and filing was complete. And lastly to the players, thank you for entertaining us all. Everyone who attended enjoyed some incredible plays and games. That’s a wrap on 2025 every one!

Creative Mondays, Wet Felt Wearable Art Scarf Class – June 23rd, 5-8 pm
Cooper Landing Community Hall
Create your very own, one of a kind, felted wool scarf, table runner or wall hanging. You will hand felt your piece using soapy water, bubble wrap and a little elbow grease. No experience is necessary, and all materials are included. Some examples are shown here but let your imagination run wild. Just about any shape and design you can think of can be created. The class will cover the basics of how and why wool felts, surface design and embellishment, how to incorporate non-wool items, fulling (shrinking), finishing and how to care for your piece. The technique learned in this class will be the foundation to move on to more advanced felting. Please bring a couple of old towels and some scissors.
