Making Visible the Invisible: A Community Conversation about Death and Dying. Applying the values of Acceptance, Belonging, Connection, and Legacy, Death Cafe is a co-generational gathering that aims to create a comfortable and open space for people to gather and discuss topics related to death, dying, and mortality, and all that it is to be human, navigating the most profound transition of our lives.

We are officially halfway through the market season, and summer produce is starting to pour in! I still can’t get enough of the summer berries, but Fulton Farms has been bringing stacks of peaches and also fresh corn. I did spy the first few tomatoes at market last week, but they go fast! Never fear, though: this heat will speed up their ripening, and within a few weeks our farmers will be overflowing with fresh juicy tomatoes!

This week’s music is a second appearance by local band Mercury Coast. We loved their original music, beautiful harmonies, and tight rhythm section a few weeks ago. We’re happy to have them back!

The Hoffman Center will be joining us with some interactive kids’ activities. We also have a special appearance by Visions Face Painting, who join us for 2 weeks each summer. Our usual face painters, Goldea and Shirl, will be switching gears and offering fortune telling this week instead! With a bit cooler day in the forecast, it will be a lovely week to hang out at the market.

Our sponsor of the week is Viridian Architecture from Nehalem. A big thanks goes to them for supporting the market’s triple up SNAP match! I’ve recently had the privilege of working with Viridian on 2 affordable housing projects in our community. They are skilled, responsive, and fun to work with. Jim Fanjoy, Viridian’s founder, was a long time vendor who continues to keep bees and was on the board of the farmers market for 10 years. He says he sponsors the market because he loves the market and loves designing buildings in his community. The market helps make that community better, more prosperous, and more resilient.

See you at market, Friday 4-7, 635 Manzanita Ave behind the new city hall!

Bay City Arts Center Presents:

Katelyn Convery

Saturday, July 26th
Doors open at 6:30 PM
Music startes at 7:00 PM

Tickets available for purchase: www.eventbrite.com/e/katelyn-convery-concert-tickets-1425636610479

Katelyn Convery brings “Grungy pop-rock with soul” to Bay City with her full band and special guest players in celebration of their new single release.

Bittersweet angst and optimism weave through Katelyn Convery’s music, piercing the frontier of modern alt-rock, and harkening back to the edgy era of 90s NW grunge, with textures characteristic of early 2000s indie-pop. Alluring melodies, compelling arrangements, and perceptive, unapologetic lyrics land as a ferocious, buttery roar.
The result is something altogether timeless and new. And getting noticed.

Join Captain Thron Riggs, retired Columbia River Bar Pilot, at a reception for his show “Wildscapes” at the NCRD Gallery, 36155 9th Street in Nehalem, on Saturday, July 12 from 2 p.m. – 4 p.m. Riggs, who has a deep affinity for the Oregon Coast, and particularly the Nehalem Bay area, will be showing 40 new paintings—many showcasing this rugged landscape.
North County Recreation District (NCRD) is hosting the show for Captain Riggs who has generously offered 80% of the proceeds from the show to support the vital role NCRD plays in the health and wellness of the Nehalem Bay area community.
Since retiring from his active, unique standing as one of 14 bar pilots on the Columbia River bar, Captain Riggs continues to enjoy the bounty of life on the north Oregon Coast as an avid surfer, painter, musician (viola), radio host and maritime scholar. He began his career on the sea on merchant ships after graduation from high school and spent 27 years on ships, the last seven as Master. He became a Columbia River Bar Pilot in 1993.
Plan to attend the reception to meet Capt. Riggs on July 12 to meet Capt. Riggs—ever the quintessential sea captain—where he is always standing ready to deliver sea stories or the inside scoop on what it is really like to pilot a giant ship through the world’s most dangerous bar.
“Wildscapes” will be up the entire month of July and is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. or weekends by appointment. Call 503-368-3203.

We made it through the big holiday weekend, and summer is upon us!  This marks the halfway point of the farmers market season, and the summer goodness is really starting to roll in.  Peaches are here and beautiful, and blueberries are hitting their full production.  Our vegetable growers have more every week, with abundant peas, zucchini, cucumbers, and more.  I haven’t seen any tomatoes yet, but they are coming soon!

This week’s music is by Sedona Fire Band, a market favorite!  This local band brings great energy to the market, with a mix of originals and covers from jazz standards, to blues, to rock, to pop, to folk classics.  

Our community booth tablers this week are the North Coast End of Life Collective and Paid Leave Oregon, and the NCRD will be providing kids’ activities.  See you there!

Nehalem Basin Partnership Public Meetings
The Nehalem Basin Partnership is hosting a series of site tours and public meetings to share salmon habitat restoration work that has been done in the Nehalem Watershed. Public Meetings will be held from 4-6 pm on July 13th, August 4th, and August 17th in the Gallery Room at the North Coast Recreation Center.

These meetings will be an opportunity to learn about habitat restoration opportunities available to residents of the Nehalem Watershed as well as past and present projects. This meeting will feature a screening of Nehalem Bay Watershed Council’s documentary about wood placements on West Fork Coal Creek, a slide show of current and past restoration projects, and tables with representatives from Soil and Water Conservation Districts, The Backyard Planting Project, and the Natural Resources Conservation Service.

The goal of these meetings is to share the available restoration opportunities with landowners and encourage them to sign up to explore restoration opportunities on their own properties. Landowners who sign up will be contacted to schedule a visit where their property goals and habitat restoration opportunities will be explored. Then they will have the opportunity to get scheduled into the Nehalem Basin Partnership’s 10-year work plan!

For more information about the public meeting or about the Nehalem Landowner Engagement Initiative please contact the Nehalem Bay Watershed Council at info@nehalemwatershed.org. Even more information on the Nehalem Basin Partnership and our outreach initiative can be found at www.nehalembasinpartnership.com/Nehalem-landowner-engagement-initiative.

This work is funded by grants from the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board and the Siletz Tribal Charitable Contribution Fund. We thank them for their support of habitat restoration in the Nehalem Watershed.

History will be made this Saturday, July 12, as the City of Wheeler proudly hosts the first-ever groundbreaking and building event for the long-anticipated Salmonberry Trail. The celebration will take place at Wheeler Waterfront Park starting at 1:00PM, with community members, trail advocates, and elected officials gathering to kick off the transformation of an 80-mile rail corridor into one of Oregon’s most scenic and impactful trails.

The Salmonberry Trail, when completed, will span from Banks to Tillamook to Wheeler, linking the lush forests of the Coast Range to the stunning Tillamook Coast. Saturday’s event marks the first of construction begins on the trail—right here in Wheeler—making it a historic milestone for the entire region.

“This is more than just a groundbreaking,” said Wheeler Mayor Denise Donohue. “It’s the beginning of a trail that will connect towns, boost tourism, support small businesses, and preserve the natural beauty we’re so proud of. We’re honored to be the first community to put boots—and tools—on the ground.”

The event will include remarks from local leaders and dignitaries, including:

Mayor Denise Donohue (Wheeler)

Mayor Charles McNeilly (Rockaway Beach)

Caroline Fitchett, Executive Director of the Salmonberry Trail Foundation

Representatives from Tillamook County, Travel Oregon, Trailkeepers of Oregon, Cycle Oregon, and state and federal offices…

Community members are invited to attend the event, enjoy light refreshments, hear from local dignitaries, and take part in a day of celebration that includes live music, kids’ games, trail explorations, local vendors, and a community scavenger hunt. Attendees are encouraged to visit Wheeler’s charming shops and eateries while in town and share the experience using #SalmonberryTrail and #WheelerOregon.

“This trail represents the future of sustainable tourism and outdoor access in Oregon,” said Caroline Fitchett, Executive Director of the Salmonberry Trail Foundation. “We’re thrilled to begin this work with a town as passionate and community-driven as Wheeler.”
