Conversations With The City is an open format discussion and Q&A to communicate with members of the city council in a more informal setting.
There is no focus this month so please feel free to come and ask your questions, share your thoughts or simply listen and jump in.

The Manzanita Library is located at 571 Laneda Avenue and the conversation runs from 10:30am to 12:30pm.

We look forward to discussing any of your questions & comments, or any topic regarding the City.

By the way, this incredible blues concert is FREE FREE FREEE!

No prior experience necessary! All ages and abilities welcome.

“Lifting the community with education and services that promote healing on all levels.”

Manzanita Grocery and Deli, otherwise known as the Little Apple, sponsors the event, providing all of the food. North County Food Bank volunteers dish up hamburgers, hot dogs, salads, drinks, and desserts to residents, second homeowners, and tourists surprised to find a free meal while walking down Laneda Ave.

While there is no specific charge at the door, the event is a fundraiser for the North County Food Bank, and attendees are encouraged to donate money or non-perishable foods. North County Food Bank faces particular challenges this year as the organization must move from its long-time home at the old Wheeler Hospital. The Food Bank appreciates the generosity of both Chung and Judy Lee, owners of the Little Apple, and all those who contribute to help keep North County residents free from hunger. If you can’t make it to the picnic but would like to donate, you can send a check to NCFB, PO Box 162, Wheeler, OR 97147 or donate on the website.

Farming is a rain or shine endeavor. It’s the middle of August: crops are growing, and they need to be harvested on schedule to keep yields high and production steady. Our farmers only have so many weeks to produce, harvest, and sell everything. Careful planning goes into ensuring a full enough market stand with sales sufficient to carry the business through the winter.

It’s a similar story for our non-farm vendors: market vending is seasonal, and each week is important to ensure a business’s success. We will have a smaller group of vendors tomorrow, since some people’s products are vulnerable to damage in the rain, and they’ve opted not to put their stock at risk. But many of our intrepid coastal vendors will be there tomorrow, and I hope you will too!

We’re coasties. Let’s embrace this rainy climate we all love! Put on your rain gear, come down to the market, and join us in gratitude for the beautiful fresh water that falls from the sky to keep our home clean, cool, green, and beautiful! And let’s enjoy the amazing food supported by that rain: the season is in full swing and you can expect to see all the produce, including abundant tomatoes and corn.

See you at the market, Friday 4-6 pm, 635 Manzanita Ave!
