Looking for housing
nn
Cooper Landing “local” going into my 3rd year round season up here. Recently took a new job that does not have employee housing and was hoping to find someone with a room/house/cabin available for the summer and possibly longer. No kids, no pets, low maintenance and responsible. References available if needed. Text, email or call if you may have anything! Thank you!

Softball 2023
nn
The dates for this years softball tournament are May 25- June 3. We are in search of additional teams and players for this years tournament. If you would like to play and are not yet on a team, please contact me and I will find you a team.
n
The captains meeting will be held Friday May 19 @7:00 PM at the ballfield.
n
The field is still a bit soft so maybe wait just a few more days before you practice on it. I will try and get a practice sign-up sheet at the center field entrance soon.
n
Let me know if you have questions.
n
Thanks

Chainsaw Carver in Town!
nn
Hey, y’all!
nn
I’m a chainsaw carver, originally from Kansas! I’ve spent the last two summers in Cooper Landing and exploring the Kenai Peninsula. This summer, I will be visiting for a few weeks from the end of May to the middle of June and I’m looking to carve it up while I’m there!!
nn
You might remember me from carving in front of the Loon or for the carved salmon trophies I made for Salmon Fest’s Smoked Salmon Competition, this past Summer! You might have even seen my work on Mike and Lorraine’s property, where I carved 10 stumps into pieces of art that will last for years to come (which they are welcoming folks to go check out, on their property)!
nn
While I’ll primarily be carving in front of The Loon, I am seeking commissioned special orders and stumps to carve during my upcoming time in Cooper Landing!
nn
You can check out some of my recent work by searching “Mirthful Creations” on Facebook or Instagram. Please, feel free to reach out to me to see if I can carve something special for you!

CL Hall Cleanup & Firewise Day May 21
n
nThe annual Cooper Landing Hall Clean Up and Firewise Day is Sunday, May 21st from 1 pm to 5 pm. It will involve cleaning up the interior Community Hall, prepping the fields for softball and clearing more of the dead spruce around the property. Dan Michels has generously offered to bring his tractor down to help lighten the load of work, but we still need a couple of log splitters, chainsaw operators and brush haulers. Last year we had about 40 volunteers show up and it was incredibly successful! Please if you can, stop by on Sunday, even if it is just for an hour or two, we will take all the help we can! For more information or to sign up, please contact us at officers@cooperlandingcommunityclub.com.
