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.

The rushing water that came in under the wall and pooled at the front door has been removed by a very diligent crew.
Thank you Coast Construction!

Now, we need a little time to dry out. The store will be CLOSED this week and the December 9th Repair Cafe is CANCELLED.

Thank you for your kind words and monetary support. All has been very helpful.

Love from,

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.

Hello bbq’ers. My name is Drew and I am a video tech.
Birthday parties, graduations, baby’s first steps and grandpa’s last, tape has served us well as a way of remembering our important moments. Unfortunately tape deteriorates over time and saving these stories for the years to come is best done with digital media.
I can take your VHS – mini VHS – 8 mm – super 8 – mini digital cassette tapes and transfer them to DVD for players and mp4 files for storing/sharing on net platforms. If needed I can edit content and adjust contrast, color correction and camera stabilizing.
Cost is reasonable and depends on tape type and desired VHS and/or mp4 output. Drop me a note explaining what you want preserved and I will give you a solid estimate. Sharing memories with family and friends would be a great holiday gift.
Cheers, Drew. nehalembayexperience@gmail.com

Get ready for another thrilling episode of the new soap opera, “The Tides Of Manzanita”

In this week’s episode in the tumultuous world of Manzanita, the councilors are facing their toughest challenges yet. Join us as they meet behind closed doors in an intense executive session to tackle the city’s most controversial issues!
What’s on their agenda? Should they reveal the shocking details of a $90,000 legal bill to the public on top of the recent $42,000 charge? Should they reveal what’s hidden within those legal charges to the citizens?? Should they disclose the details of the lawsuit between the City Manager and the city? Are other lawsuits on the horizon? After pressure from councilors and the Mayor’s sudden resignation, can they find an interim Mayor candidate who won’t challenge their motives? After dipping into the water fund, will they dare to do it again, especially after raising water rates? Should they take out a loan for a multi-million dollar City Hall after denying voters the chance to vote on it? Can they successfully divert the probing questions from the public?
Get ready for a rollercoaster of suspense, drama, and intrigue that will leave you on the edge of your seat! Will Manzanita’s councilors manage to keep their secrets hidden, or will the truth be exposed, shaking the city to its core?
Tune in to “The Tides Of Manzanita” and find out what happens when power, deception, and ambition collide in this gripping soap opera that will keep you guessing until the very end! Don’t miss it – this Wednesday’s Council Meeting!
