The theme for this year’s parade is “Sand, Sea and 250 Years of Liberty.” The parade booth was buzzing with visitors last Friday, preparing for their parade floats, asking questions about the parade route, and purchasing parade posters.
Local artist Lori Dillon designed the 2026 poster. “I always want to include Neahkahnie Mountain in the artwork,” says Dillon. “And besides being a 250-year anniversary for our nation, Manzanita is celebrating a birthday too.” This is an additional part of the colorful poster design.
Dillon will be on hand at the parade committee’s booth to visit and personalize the posters as requested. Parade committee volunteers will also be there to answer questions about the annual celebration.
The weekly farmers’ market is held behind Manzanita’s City Hall, at the corner of Division and Manzanita Avenue.
Proceeds from the poster sales fund official parade buttons and prizes, supplies, support services, bagpipers, and other parade expenses. For pre-registration, volunteer opportunities and other questions visit manzanitaparade.com online.

The Friends Foundation at North County Recreation District has launched its summer flower sales. Proceeds will support scholarships for the District’s youth, fitness, and aquatic programs in Nehalem. The foundation has sold flowers for this purpose for more than 15 years, growing from a fundraiser that raised a few hundred dollars annually to one that now brings in several thousand dollars each year. All proceeds are donated to District programs for scholarships. The Friends Foundation thanks the many flower growers, arrangers, and volunteers who help make this fundraiser possible.
In past years, the flower stand has been located outside Manzanita Grocery & Deli in downtown Manzanita. Friends has now added a second location at North County Recreation District in Nehalem. Flowers will be available there on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at the stand across from the gym door in the upper parking lot. The flowers will be bundled and placed in tin cans. Please take only the flowers and leave the cans; if you need to take a can, please return it.
Flowers will also be available at Manzanita Grocery & Deli Thursday through Sunday. These bouquets will be arranged in vases, and clean vases may be returned to the container next to the display.
Bouquet prices range from $5 to $20, and additional donations are welcome to support the cause. Both the Nehalem and Manzanita stands have lock boxes for payment, and Venmo information is posted at each location.
The Friends Foundation also accepts special orders for birthdays, anniversaries, and other occasions. If you would like to place an order or donate flowers for the fundraiser, please call Patty at 503-368-6081 and leave a message. Thank you for supporting North County Recreation District programs.

To our community theater family and friends,
As the curtain closed on our production of THE ODD COUPLE, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who made this remarkable run possible.
To our cast: thank you for your talent, dedication, and willingness to trust the process. From the first read-through to the final curtain call, you brought Neil Simon’s beloved characters to life with energy, humor, and heart. Every rehearsal, every note, every adjustment contributed to a production that entertained audiences and made us all proud. Watching this cast grow together and embrace these characters has been one of the great joys of directing this show.
To our crew, designers, stage managers, board members, volunteers, front-of-house team, and everyone working behind the scenes: thank you for the countless hours that often go unseen.
Community theater succeeds because of people who quietly and generously give their time, talent, and effort. Your work created the foundation that allowed this production to shine.
To our audiences: thank you for filling the theater, sharing your laughter, and supporting live community theater. There is nothing quite like hearing a packed house respond to a performance. Your presence reminds us why we do this. Every ticket purchased, every standing ovation, every kind word in the lobby helps ensure that community theater continues to thrive here on the North Coast.
And to our broader community, sponsors, donors, and supporters: thank you for believing in Riverbend Players. Your encouragement, generosity, and commitment to the arts allow us to create opportunities for local performers, technicians, volunteers, and audiences to come together through the shared experience of live theater.
THE ODD COUPLE is a story about friendship, acceptance, and learning to appreciate the differences that make each of us unique. In many ways, that’s what community theater is all about. We bring together people from different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives and, through collaboration, create something far greater than any one person could accomplish alone.
As President of Riverbend Players and Director of this production, I could not be prouder of what we achieved together. Thank you for making THE ODD COUPLE such a memorable success.
We look forward to seeing you at the theater this fall for DRACULA: The Radio Play and this December for our first-ever holiday musical, WINTER WONDERETTES.
With gratitude,
Frank Squillo
President, Riverbend Players Community Theater
Director, THE ODD COUPLE
