Thank you sponsors! Without you, we would not be able to have this great event that is a tremendous asset t o the entire community. The mission of the Homer Chamber of Commerce is to promote cooperative economic development that preserves the essence of the community while enhancing the quality of life. Events such as SeaFest promote this economic development by providing a boost in income to individual businesses which in turn grants funds to the entire community, thus spurring life along our little paradise by the sea.

Special Thanks to the contributors to the Roving Silent Auction. It is due to the efforts of businesses such as these that ring revenue to our town. The hustle and bustle of activity that draws folks out of the woodwork and income is passing from hand to hand increasing the economic stability of our community. Thanks so much to the donators of special Silent auction contributions:  Alaska Kayak School, Diane Borgman, Eagle Enterprises,  Fireweed Gallery, GCI, Grant Avaiation, Homer Halibut Jackpot Derby, Homer Ocean Charters, Inner Nature Chiropractic, NORMAR and Ulmer's Drug & Hardware

The SeaFest Committee would like to extend our appreciation to the volunteers and assistants who made this event happen. Thank you for being someone we can call on to do a first rate job in assisting with SeaFest. Your generosity is much appreciated. The Chamber of Commerce seeks to enhance local business and the economy of Homer. Events like this not only enhance the quality of life for everyone in our lovely town - giving us all the opportunity to participate in a variety of great events, but gives a boost to our economy because of all the activity. This event would not happen if it were not for the amazing gift of time of our incredible volunteers, including: Larry Bane, Janice Coker, Cassie Davis, Nina Daley, Eileen Faulkner, Paula Frisinger, Michael Hayes, Janet Higley, Arden Jeffries, Ross Kalke, John Kelly "Zen", Michael Neece, Tiny Nolan, Alison O'Hare, Sawyer Roberts, Siina Toivenan, Christina Whiting, "Bumpo" and Wayne of Northstar. And a special thank you to the citizens of the Friendship Center.
