The Nehalem Valley Historical Society is again proud to host a Memorial Day Ceremony at the Nehalem American Legion Cemetery at 11:00 AM. on Monday, May 25. We will be there rain or shine. The event has grown over the years to be a special recognition for those who have served. Every year we have found a new way to honor our service men and women. This year we will have members of the Coast Guard present to tell us the significance of each fold of the flag. Should be good.

The North Oregon Coast Symphony concludes its 2025-26 season with two concerts in June titled “Ancient Echoes, New Tides.” These will be very
special events, as the orchestra is honored to present the world premiere performances of We Await a Glassy Sea by composer Isabella Morrill. This evocative piece was commissioned for NOCS by two generous donors, and has become a favorite of our musicians.
Another highlight of the program will be Cécile Chaminade’s lovely Concertino for Flute and Orchestra, featuring NOCS flautist Melissa Lagerquist. Outdoor Overture by the famous American composer Aaron Copland and Symphony No. 5 by the lesser known Ferdinand Ries will round out the performances. Melodies in Copland’s piece probably will sound familiar to
an audience, as will some themes in Ries’s symphony. Ries studied and worked with Beethoven, whose musical influence on Ries is obvious.
The first concert will take place on Saturday, June 13 at the Nehalem Elementary School Gym (36300 8th St., Nehalem, OR) beginning at 3:00 pm.
The second concert will be on Sunday, June 14, at the Charlene Larsen Center for the Performing Arts (588 16th St., Astoria, OR) at 3:00 pm.
Admission for both concerts will be: $10 Adults, ages 18 and under FREE (children 12 and under with adult supervision.)
Tickets will be available at the door for the Nehalem concert (cash and personal checks only.)
Tickets for the Astoria concert are available online at LarsenCenter.org or by phone at 503-338-9132.

This non-profit orchestra, under the direction of conductor Cory Pederson, brings together musicians from the north Oregon and south Washington coast
to perform classical music for local audiences. For more information, please
visit the NOCS website: nocsymphony.org

Thanks to everyone who came out in the rain last week!  Our vendors fought through wind and rain during setup, and we so appreciate everyone who rewarded their efforts by braving the weather.  Vibes were high in spite of the weather, everyone has had a chance to dry off, and we’re ready to do it again!

I’ve been feasting on strawberries this week, and they are so sweet.  I opted for fresh onions over carrots last week, but I’m looking forward to buying a bunch for snacking on Friday.  NeahKahNie Smokehouse smoked salmon is always a favorite, and this week we’ll have 2 new seafood vendors!  Pearl Point Oyster Farm will be bringing fresh oysters for your Memorial Day grilling plans, and Tre Fin Seafood is rejoining us after a couple year hiatus with locally caught fish.  We’re excited to have a Pacific presence at the market, the ocean is what defines our home and we want to celebrate it!

This week’s music is Earl and his Reggae All Stars, who bring the high vibe, interactive original reggae dance party.  These guys really bring the stage energy, and this will be a perfect week to get some dinner, hang out at the picnic tables, and dance with your friends.  See you Friday!

Manzanita Farmers Market is 4-7 on Fridays at 635 Manzanita Ave behind City Hall.  We accept and match SNAP benefits, spend $20 in SNAP and get $60 to spend at the market, every week.  Visit us at the info booth at the main entrance to run your card and learn more.

Last night I had the pleasure of attending “Fahrenheit 451” presented by the Pirate Players at Neahkahnie High School, a play based on Ray Bradbury’s dystopian novel. The students did an incredible job, acted with skill and verve, delivered long monologues, and accomplished the many lighting and set changes.
I first read “Fahrenheit 451” for my high school English class, over 60 years ago. The theme of censoring books and substituting state programmed television struck a chord then, and it continues to be relevant today. These students did an impressive job of engaging with this thought provoking material.

Two more nights to see the show—7pm this Friday and Saturday. $5 for a ticket. Upstairs in the High School gym.
Park in the back of the school as entrance to the play is by the back door.

Don’t miss it!
