Summer is in full swing, and the market is abundant and busy!  Last week we counted 1500 visitors, with 900 of them arriving in the first hour.  It has been so fun to see the crowds arriving and interact with so many people in our community at this wonderful weekly event.  The layout this year is designed to support flow and community space, with a large food court/stage area, places for kids to play outside the main pathways, and a circular layout that encourages visitors to make circuits and spread themselves out over the market.  It’s been a really fun community gathering each week!

But I know some of you prefer to avoid the crowds. The market is busiest between 4 and 5, and slows down after that.  Now that summer is ON, more and more of the goodies you are looking for will be available later in the day.  There’s been mountains of peaches, fresh berries, corn, and smoked salmon.  There are more tomatoes every week, and cucumbers are in full production. My favorite approach is to go to market without a list, and just see what’s available and enticing.  Not sure how to use something you see?  Just ask the vendor, and they’ll be happy to give you some ideas!

Parking is also a little easier this year.  With construction finished, the new parking lot at the City Hall is open.  We’re also parking most vendor vehicles on site, so that opens up lots of parking around the market. 

Music this week is by Duo Opelio.  See you Friday from 4-7 at 635 Manzanita Ave!

SATURDAY, AUG. 2, 6 PM, FREE EVENT, MANZANITA

Cloud & Leaf’s “Books After Hours” is offering chocolate, wine, and funky music in our wonderful little bookstore at the beach… and the opportunity to hear Miriam Gershow read from her newest book!

Miriam is the author of Survival Tips: Stories (Propeller Books), an Independent Publisher Book Awards and Pencraft Awards winner. Her debut novel, The Local News (Spiegel & Grau), was hailed as “unusually credible and precise” and “deftly heartbreaking” by The New York Times.

Her novel Closer, from Regal House, has just released to much acclaim and is, sadly, timely. “Set in 2015 during Obama’s presidency and Trump’s early candidacy, the tranquil college town of Horace, Oregon, is disrupted when white students taunt a Black student in the high school library. This incident sparks immediate repercussions that ripple through the community, affecting students, families, and faculty alike. “

Reminder! Upcoming North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection monthly community meeting on Tuesday, July 29, at 6:00 p.m. at St. Mary by the Sea Parish Hall in Rockaway Beach. Everyone is invited.

Items on the agenda include:

1. Good news for our wetlands! Oregon Shores, represented by the Crag Law Center, successfully appealed to the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA) the decision by the City of Rockaway Beach approving the proposed Nedonna Wave planned unit development. LUBA has remanded this issue back to the City. What are next steps to protect wetlands and the drinking water aquifer at Nedonna Beach?

2.Discussion regarding the current methods which are used to determine where logging and pesticide applications are planned, as well as how to improve that communication to impacted property owners and communities. What are the next steps to end pesticide exposure in our communities?

NCCWP wants no more logging and pesticide use in community water sources regardless of who owns the land, and it wants an end to pesticide applications near where people live, work and recreate. Safe drinking water and clean air are part of the public trust that we all are entitled to have. Please help North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection safeguard and restore our drinking watersheds. www.healthywatershed.org | www.facebook.com/NCCWATERSHEDPROTECTION For more information contact rockawaycitizen.water@gmail.com
