RHYTHM METHOD will be playing at McMenamin’s Sand Trap in Gearhart from 6:00 to 9:00 on Saturday, September 20th.

This is a big deal for us and we’d love to have our local friends come up to Gearhart for the event. We’re not well known up in that area and we do play sort of an idiosyncratic type of jam band music so seeing friendly faces would be an amazing support that evening – and hopefully you’ll have some great fun along with us!!!

I’ll follow up with details like a location map, pub food menu, etc. in another BBQ post.

Thanks,
Gary

Get ready to jump, jive and wail with Chelsea LaFey & the Salt Shakers at a free concert in the park in Cannon Beach on Sunday, September 7th.

Led by LaFey’s soulful, smooth and stirring voice, the Salt Shakers play big band swing, jazz and blues. It’s a performance you’ll want to twirl and dip your dance partner to–and maybe even try the Lindy Hop.

A regular performer on the North Coast, LaFey brings with her a cast of veteran players, including keys, horns and a swinging rhythm section.

This free, family friendly concert begins at 5:00PM.

Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets, low-backed chairs and fully stocked picnic baskets.

The park is located in downtown Cannon Beach, northeast of the Chamber of Commerce at 2nd & Spruce.

The concert is produced by the Tolovana Arts Colony and made possible by a Community Grant from the City of Cannon Beach.

Artist Karen LaGrave Small will guide a two-session workshop at HeartWorks Studio: Going Further with Contour Drawing.

This class isn’t about making a perfect drawing—it’s about the act of drawing itself. Think meditation with a pen in hand. Participants will practice looking carefully, focusing deeply, and noticing the shift between flow and analysis.

This workshop will use salvaged objects from the store as drawing subjects, with reused paper and tools available if needed.

Mondays, Sept 15 & 22 | 9:30am–12pm
HeartWorks Studio, Heart of Cartm
$100 for both sessions

August may be over, but the farmers market is still going strong! We have 3 more weeks of fresh food, live music, and artisan crafts before we take a break for the winter. September is one of the most abundant months for our farmers, and with the tourist crowds beginning to thin out, it’s a great time to come to market!

Our farmers will continue to bring the summer goodies we all love: tomatoes, corn, peaches, dahlias, and more. But we should also start to see more fall produce arriving as the days grow shorter and nights cool off, so keep an eye out for more root crops, squash, cabbages, and more.

After a couple week hiatus, we are again tripling your SNAP benefits and will continue to do so for the rest of the season! Sales of our new commemorative poster fund our Triple Up benefits, enabling lower income members of our community to shop at the farmers market and supporting our farmers and vendors. Get yours at the market info booth!

Music this week is by our own market manager Carolina, performing as Corvus Landing. With a voice like sweet bourbon and a unique multi instrumental style, you’ll hear original songs and familiar tunes like you’ve never heard them before. With her own feet playing percussion and a range of electric and acoustic sounds, Corvus Landing covers a range of pop, blues, Americana, rock, and soul.

Opportunity to Share an Important Gift:

There will be a Red Cross Blood Drive on Friday, September 12 from 12:00 Noon to 5:00 pm at Nehalem Bay Fire & Rescue – Station 13. Address is on the attached flyer.

The Red Cross has over 135 years of experience providing humanitarian aid including more than 75 years of supplying blood to those in need. Each pint of blood they collect can help save up to three lives and will touch the lives of so many more. What a great way to pay it forward and make an impact on people in our community and across the country.

We are Thankful to Partner with the American Red Cross in this important work. A good number of you are already routine donors, and THANK YOU!!

If you are able to Donate, please visit RedCrossBlood.org and enter: NBFR to schedule an appointment.

If you would like to join the amazing Red Cross as a Volunteer, please contact the Red Cross at: www.redcross.org/volunteer/become-a-volunteer.html or call 1-800-733-2767 (1-800-RED Cross).

There are many ways you can help, but most importantly we hope you come out to donate at this or an upcoming Blood Drive in our area.

The reason I am sharing this email is because this Blood Drive was scheduled to be held in Manzanita, but that facility is not available. Chief Frank and the Nehalem Bay Fire & Rescue stepped in and has made their venue available for this drive (in addition to their regular Blood Drive schedule).
THANK YOU TO OUR PARTNERS ALWAYS!!

Thank You for your Consideration to Donate; it is truly Life Saving for So Many.

Join WEBS Board President, Michael Krall on Saturday, September 20th for an introduction to Tillamook County birds and birding. Starting with an optional, two hour, slow and easy bird walk, participants will scope out some of our Northwest feathered friends along inland trails and coastal shores. After the walk, the group will meet at the Netarts Community Club for an informative indoor presentation. Michael will share his photographs, some tips on where and when to bird in Tillamook County, and talk about some of the birds we can expect to see in these diverse habitats.

Michael birds and photographs extensively in Tillamook County, around Oregon, and beyond. He caught the birding bug starting with a Golden Eagle banding in central Oregon with his 8th grade science teacher some 60 years ago. Michael says “I have always been partial to woodpeckers” and in 2017 he made a book of photographs featuring all 22 woodpecker species found in the US and Canada. Now Michael is working on the 50 or so US warbler species and has just a few to go! “So many birds, so little time!”

We understand everyone learns and experiences the outdoors differently, and we strive to support everyone who is interested in attending our events! Please contact us in advance so we can do our best to accommodate your accessibility needs.

Celebrate National Public Lands Day by cleaning up the beach from Oceanside to Netarts with the Friends of Netarts Bay WEBS and Oceanside Action Partnership, Saturday, September 27th, 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.!

WEBS and OAP will have welcome tables set up at The Schooner Restaurant and the upper parking lot at Oceanside Beach, so volunteers can choose where to start the day. “Let’s take this opportunity to clean up the beach with friends or family, or expand your community by teaming up with fellow volunteers,” says Marina Dreeben, WEBS stewardship coordinator. Marina goes on to add “In addition to cleaning up the beach, join us for a marine debris survey demonstration at The Schooner at 9:30am to learn how debris is monitored on the beach year-round, and how you can help!” In our efforts to reduce waste, instead of using plastic bags, please bring your own bucket to collect debris. There will be some extra buckets on hand if needed.

AND be sure to stick around after the cleanup for a special treat just for volunteers – The Schooner will be grilling up fresh oysters from Pearl Point Oyster here in Netarts to thank you for keeping our coastal ecosystems clean!!

As you head out to clean up or just explore, it is important to remember that ocean shores can be dangerous. Avoid logs in the water, keep your distance from marine mammals, and never turn your back on the ocean! If you find any hazardous material, please alert a staff member.

Advanced registration saves time but is not required. To register and read more about this event visit www.netartsbaywebs.org/events
