The most comfortable chairs

Submitted By: megfbowles@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
These chairs are not only cool-looking (70s vibes!) but they are super wide, go up and down, and spin.

Smoke-free, pet-free home. They are in impeccable condition.

I don’t really want to get rid of them but four big spinning chairs is too much for the space I have.

$40 each or $150 for all 4.

Dog Seeks Home

Submitted By: paprikapink@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
I’ve come to the difficult decision that my dog, Foxy, needs a new home.

Foxy is a shepherd mix. Her DNA test says she’s 9 years old, about 30% Border Collie, Collie, and Australian Cattle Dog, and 52% German Shepherd. To me she looks like an Australian Shepherd or a McNab Shepherd. She weighs about 70 pounds (probably about 15 pounds overweight). She has the brains and the heart that you’d expect from those breeds.

I adopted her 6 months ago from a rescue in Texas. They told me she did not like other dogs.

She has a scar on her nose and a damaged ear. I suspect those might be injuries from a traumatic encounter with another dog when she was young. When she is on leash and she sees another dog, she is so reactive that I cannot manage her. I have tried numerous different leash and collar combinations and contraptions. What it really comes down to is that I am not strong enough.

Foxy is such a sweet and loving companion. She’s very cuddly for a big girl. In the house she’s very responsive, often knowing what I want just from a gesture. She has a crate and she goes into it voluntarily, but I dont close the door. She’d prefer to spend all her time with you, of course, but when I’ve left her alone she’s been fine.

If you think you might be the right person for Foxy and would like to learn more about her, please contact me at paprikapink@gmail.com

Stop trying to be your dad!!! You’re not him. You can’t be.

Parade Posters on Sale

Submitted By: dillond@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
Manzanita’s Fourth of July 2026 Parade Posters have arrived and are available for purchase. The commemorative artworks, featuring Neahkahnie Mountain and the nation’s 250-year anniversary, are on sale at Cloud & Leaf Bookstore and Bahama Mama’s in Manzanita.

Proceeds from the sales go 100% to fund official parade buttons and prizes, supplies, support services, bagpipers, and other parade expenses.

Noted local artist Lori Dillon designed the poster around this year’s theme of “Sand, Sea and 250 Years of Liberty.” This is her fourth year creating the popular and collectible posters.

“I had a concept in mind to place Neahkahnie Mountain, our local icon, inside the figures 250. It took some engineering, but I accomplished it,” says Dillon. “I also incorporated that this is a significant year for Manzanita.”

Copies of the 2026 poster will also be available at the Manzanita Farmers Markets on Fridays June 19 and 26. Cash or check only. Artist Dillon will be on hand to meet, chat and personalize the posters.

Manzanita’s Fourth of July parade starts at 1 p.m. on Saturday the 4th, at the corner of Laneda Ave. and Division St. The traditional, small-town celebration has been a highlight of the summer season for decades.

Information about the July 4th parade, including required online registration for participants, can be found at the parade’s official website – manzanitaparade.com. Included are parade guidelines, volunteer opportunities, the parade route, and more.

Manzanita Farmers Market Week 5: Friday 4-7

Submitted By: info@manzanitafarmersmarket.com – Click to email about this post
It looks like perfect weather for the farmers market this week, and we have a full roster of vendors lined up!  It’s nearly summer solstice, and every week there’s more to choose from at the market.  Moon River is swimming in peas, Fulton Farms told me they’ll have apricots this week, and A&B’s cherries are going strong.  

In addition to local produce, hot food, and baked goods, we have lots of value added foods!  Have you tried Condea’s Farm Big Leaf Maple Syrup, made from native maples in the Clatskanie forest?  They’ll be selling that along with fresh kettle corn this week!  Picnic Eats is another new vendor selling sizzling hot sauces and irresistable chili crunch made right here in Wheeler. GeeBee’s Kitchen makes “Sunday Gravy”, a slow cooked tomato sauce that packs a flavor punch.  Try it over ManJa Creations fresh pasta, she even has excellent gluten free options!  Bloom and Dye has a big selection of pickles, krauts, jams, and relishes, grown on their farm in Newberg.

Looking for something sweeter?  Longtime market favorite Gingifer’s Kitchen brings amazing jams of all flavors, made with primarily local produce.  High Peak Granola has unique and delicious flavor combinations and lots of crunch.  Enjoy a hot cup of Murrelet Herb Farm’s Tea, grown and processed here in Nehalem, or better yet make it iced for a refresher this hot weekend!  

Music this week is by Jason Okamoto, a stellar guitarist playing bossa nova, flamenco, gypsy jazz, and more.  See you Friday from 4-7 at Underhill Plaza, behind city hall!

Hello all,
Do you have one minute per day to learn more about this magnificent country?

I’ve been enchanted by the “250 to 250” short films documenting some of the many citizens and organizations that guided the American democratic project at various inflection points in our shared history. Each film is about one minute long and is narrated by various historians, economists, politicians and filmmakers.

You can find them all at any of these social media platforms:

SYMPHONY CONCERTS THIS WEEKEND!

Submitted By: sdawagner@icloud.com – Click to email about this post
The North Oregon Coast Symphony concludes its 2025-26 season with two concerts in June titled “Ancient Echoes, New Tides.” These will be very
special events, as the orchestra is honored to present the world premiere performances of We Await a Glassy Sea by composer Isabella Morrill. This evocative piece was commissioned for NOCS by two generous donors, and has become a favorite of our musicians.
Another highlight of the program will be Cécile Chaminade’s lovely Concertino for Flute and Orchestra, featuring NOCS flautist Melissa Lagerquist.
Outdoor Overture by the famous American composer Aaron Copland and Symphony No. 5 by the lesser known Ferdinand Ries will round out the
performances. Melodies in Copland’s piece probably will sound familiar to an audience, as will some themes in Ries’s symphony. Ries studied and worked with Beethoven, whose musical influence on Ries is obvious.
The first concert will take place on Saturday, June 13 at the Nehalem Elementary School Gym (36300 8th St., Nehalem, OR) beginning at 3:00 pm.
The second concert will be on Sunday, June 14, at the Charlene Larsen Center for the Performing Arts (588 16th St., Astoria, OR) at 3:00 pm.
Admission for both concerts will be: $10 Adults, ages 18 and under FREE (children 12 and under with adult supervision.) Tickets will be available at
the door for the Nehalem concert (cash and personal checks only.)
Tickets for the Astoria concert are available online at LarsenCenter.org or by phone at 503-338-9132.

This non-profit orchestra, under the direction of conductor Cory Pederson, brings together musicians from the north Oregon and south Washington coast to perform classical music for local audiences. For more information, please

Fiddle Jam at the Pine Grove

Fiddle Jam at the Pine Grove
Thursday June 25th, 5pm

Come share your favorite fiddle tunes and play along with others! We will play traditional tunes of various styles (Irish, Bluegrass, etc..) All ages, all ability levels, all instruments welcome!

Don’t know many tunes?
No problem. The host will share new tunes and offer ways to participate and pick up what you can. Listening is always encouraged.

Don’t have a fiddle? Loaner fiddles available to try!

Slow Jam/Fast Jam:
The first 30 minutes or so will be a slow jam to allow less experienced players to share tunes they’ve learned as well as learn new ones at a slower tempo. More experienced players are encouraged to participate in the slower portion to support new players. The second portion of the jam, we will pick up the speed to allow more experienced players to play tunes “up to tempo” and allow new players an opportunity to listen and see where they might be headed with some more practice.

Coastal Contractor Hub – Post any home project you need help with!

Submitted By: crosta21@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Hey everyone,
This is Trevor Crosta again,

We just had our first big win of someone posting a project to the Contractor Hub website and a contractor actually doing the work! The site works! Please keep in mind that it is still early so the more projects we can get posted the more contractors will start to notice and we can get the site working better and better.

Here are the website details for those who are new:

I just launched a simple website called Coastal Contractor Hub to help connect homeowners and local contractors here in Manzanita, Nehalem, Wheeler and Tillamook/Clatsop county.

The idea is pretty straightforward:
* If you have a project (big or small), you can post it for free in less than a minute, no sign ups required.
* Local contractors can reach out if they’re interested
* I help connect the right people — without all the clutter or ads of bigger national platforms

It’s meant for the kind of jobs we all deal with out here: 
rot repairs, decks, landscaping, tree work, plumbing, electrical, remodels… even the random “can anyone help with this?” projects.

A few goals behind it:
* Keep work local
* Make it easier to find reliable help
* Give local contractors more visibility
* Keep it simple and community-driven

If you want to check it out:
 www.coastalcontractorhub.com

If you’re a homeowner:

Post a project – the more projects we have up the better the site will become.

If you’re a contractor:

Browse jobs and reach out to the homeowner if you are interested. Jump on early and add your name to the directory!

And if you know someone who’s got a project and looking for good help, (or someone who does great work), feel free to pass it along — word of mouth is everything out here.

I would love any feedback too — this is very much a “build it with the community” kind of project.
