Just one weekend left to shop the Tolovana Arts Colony’s 8th annual Holiday Bazaar!
You won’t want to miss all of the fantastic local offerings—the community antidote to chilly corporate holiday consumerism!
We’ve got a veritable smorgasbord of arts and crafts, everything from goat milk soap (made by a teenager!) to stockings for your pet. There are tiny wooden figurines, delicious preserves, cozy blankets and skin creams!
Plus we’ve got the creme de la creme of fine arts, including watercolors, weavings, jewelry, ceramics and more.
Come on down to Tolovana Hall from Noon-5PM this Saturday and Sunday, December 9th-10th and take in all that this talented region has to offer! But don’t wait—many of these items are one-of-a-kind and once they’re gone, they’re gone.
Tolovana Hall is located at 3779 S Hemlock st. in Cannon Beach. For more info, email tolovanaartscolony@gmail.com or call 541-215-4445 or visit tolovanaartscolony.org.

Thank you Coast Construction!

Elk and deer on road

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: Donvon97130@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Anyone traveling the roads around here have seen elk and or deer on or near the road. My wife and I have got in the habit of turning on our flashers for a couple of minutes to let the on-coming cars know there is something to be careful about.

Unlike Gearheart which recently had its annual elk slaughter where supposedly 78 female elk were mowed down because they were on private property. You know at least half those cows had calves with them. We’d just as soon give the elk a brake and ask others to do the same.

A CHRISTMAS STORY:
Humorist Jean Shepherd’s memoir of growing up in the Midwest in the late 1930s follows 9-year-old Ralphie Parker in his quest to get a genuine Red Ryder BB gun under the tree for Christmas.

Ralphie pleads his case before his mother, his teacher, and even Santa Claus himself at Higbee’s Department Store. The consistent response: “You’ll shoot your eye out!”

All the elements from the beloved motion picture are here, including the family’s temperamental exploding furnace; Scut Farkas, the school bully; the boys’ experiment with a wet tongue on a cold lamppost; the Little Orphan Annie decoder pin; Ralphie’s father winning a lamp shaped like a woman’s leg in a net stocking; Ralphie’s fantasy scenarios and more.

Manzanita quonset hut reverie,

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: richardmastenik@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Quonset Hut Reverie

I don’t know if it has registered yet with many people around here, but a community landmark is in the process of being destroyed. Another part of our visual history has been condemned to the breaker’s bucket and the picker’s axe as a demolition crew ignominiously removes the quonset structure that has guarded the east end of Manzanita Avenue and east entrance of our little town for more decades than I can imagine. To many new people around here that building is little more than a reminder of all that’s old and in their way in our once quaint little community. In their haste to create their vision of a future that these few new people hold for our town they seem compelled to obliterate the last remnants of our storied past – and replace them with something new and shiny, with something that speaks of their power and progress, I guess.
For me that building is a reminder of my earliest days in this once delightful little town – before much of the rest of the world discovered us. Very, very many summers ago I split my shopping between the little grocery store “downtown” and Neahkahnie Bob’s store that used to occupy the unusual object of this reverie, when I moved here in the 1970’s. I recognized early on that our distinctive little building was clearly modeled after the imposing blimp hangers down in Tillamook complete with the blocky, but functionless, poritcoes at the south end of “our hanger” that faithfully mimicked the real thing the US Navy built up and down all of our coasts to house the aircraft that were sent aloft to protect our shores during the Second World War. I always like to believe our little “hanger” was designed and built as an homage and even as a memorial to the men and women and their Service that rose to the occasion to defend our Nation in the time of our greatest peril. As you go about your errands in the coming days – and if your travels bring you into Manzanita from that compass quarter – you might at least give a moment’s pause for that building and it’s significance to our community for all of these years, and a final nod to it’s part in our collective story as it completes it’s rendezvous with time. I also invite you to give a thought to those young men and women for whom in it’s youth it was valued as much more than just an old eyesore.

Richard Mastenik, Manzanita
