Local Rowers represent Seward and Alaska in Australia
yes those are the real Olympic rings
Ten rowers, including our coxswain, from Seward and Cooper Landing (Kenai Crewsers Rowing Club) were part of the contingent of 41 Alaskan rowers competing in the World Master Games in Australia earlier this month. Alaska had the largest showing of any US state in the rowing competition.
The World Master Games were comprised of 28 different sports with over 28,000 athletes from 95 countries. The goal of the World Masters games is motivating a goal-oriented and long-term attitude towards sport, physical fitness and health. The World Masters Games bring together men and women for the simple joy of competing with their peers. Many of the venues were the same ones used in the 2000 Summer Olympics. Rowing was no exception, it was held on the Penrith Lakes International Regatta Centre, a world-class facility built for the Olympics. Rowing had over 2,400 athletes and over 850 races scheduled. The motto of the 2009 games was Fit, Fun and Forever Young. Rowers ranged in age from 27 to 91, and he won a gold medal.

Rowing Club says thank you Seward
The Kenai Crewsers Rowing Club had a fantastic Christmas Auction – Fundraiser this year. We would like to thank all of you who supported us by bidding on the wonderful, valuable, tasty, functional, creative, and beautiful items we had available for bidding. Our club’s operating expenses are completely funded through membership dues, but in order to keep our boats in good repair and upgraded we need to raise money. Our members provide the labor and expertise for repairs, so most of the money raised goes directly into equipment.
Our donations this year came from: A Flying Skein, Alaska Whimsical Woodworks, Alaska’s Glacier Creek Lodging, Authentic Folk Art Gallery, Blake’s Seaside Cuts, Blue Moon Baked Goods, Chugach Mountain Massage, Cornerstone Books & Supplies, Dirty Dog House, F/V Chandalar, Halcyon Enterprises, Harbor Enterprises, Irvin Pottery, J Dock Seafood Co., Kenai Fjords Tours, Helly Hansen, Knots-So-Fast Feed Store, NAPA, North Country Fair, Pitchersplus, Rainy Day Creations, Renown Tours, Resurrect Art Coffee House Gallery, Resurrection Body Works, Rio Salado Rowing Club, Safeway, Semaka Charters, Seward Ships Ace Hardware & Marine, Snug Harbor Seafood’s, Soldotna Trustworthy Hardware, Starbucks Soldotna, Sugar Magnolias, The Frame Workshop, TLC BodyWorks, Winter Sky Creations, Barbara Robinson, Carol Tomassen, Deana Roadifer, Dr. Matt Hall, DMV, Larry Harmon, Sheila Morrow, Tim Dye, Doug McRae.
