The Cannon Beach Arts Association Summer Art Camp is more than just a creative outlet!

It’s a place where young artists grow, create, and discover what they’re capable of. Designed for a wide range of skill levels, our camp offers hands-on instruction in painting, sculpture, and mixed media, led by experienced teaching artists.

Set against the inspiring backdrop of Cannon Beach, students spend their days immersed in creativity, collaboration, and fun. They build confidence not only in their artistic abilities, but also in expressing ideas, solving problems, and working alongside peers in a supportive environment.

The week concludes with a Pop-Up Gallery Showcase, where families and the community are invited to celebrate each student’s work and creative growth, an experience students remember long after camp ends.

We believe access to the arts matters, which is why we offer a limited number of scholarships each year to help ensure every child has the opportunity to participate.

Spots fill quickly! Early registration is strongly encouraged.

Camp Dates: July 13–17, 2026
Location: Cannon Beach Community Church, 132 E. Washington Street

Pop-Up Gallery Showcase: Saturday, July 18 (10:30 AM–12:30 PM)

The library’s NW Authors Series will host author Miriam Gershow on Saturday, May 16 at 2 p.m. in the library. This is a free event, and books will be available for sale and signing.
Gershow’s newest novel, Closer is a powerful and timely story set in small-town Oregon. Tragedy ensues after a racist incident erupts, and the shockwaves spread throughout an entire community. Thought-provoking and deeply human, Closer explores the ways that relationships are fractured and ultimately reshaped.
The New York Times praised Gershow’s writing as “unusually credible and precise” and “deftly heartbreaking.” Closer is her second novel to be nominated for an Oregon Book Award.
Her other novels include Survival Tips and The Local News, and her short stories have been featured in many leading literary journals and anthologies. She’s also been awarded an Independent Publisher Book Award, a Pencraft Award, and an Oregon Literary Fellowship. Gershow lives with her family in Eugene, where she teaches writing at the University of Oregon.

It’s finally time! The market is here, with sweet strawberries, fresh greens, perky plants, hot food, fresh bread, spring flowers, and so much more. New this year, we’ll have the Manzanita Visitor Center’s beach wheelchairs available for market shoppers, they’ll be stationed at the info booth and available first come first serve.

Looking for dinner, or a fresh treat? Our food court welcomes back all our vendors from last year, with Gnarly’s tacos, Malia’s Grill poke, Antojitos Don Berna smoothies, and Blessed hot donuts. The Sasquatch food truck will miss the first couple of weeks, but he’ll be back soon.

How about cheese? After a couple year hiatus, we’re very happy to have Tillamook County’s own Nestucca Bay Creamery back at the market. They bring a variety of fresh and aged cheeses from their own herd of pastured cows. Coupled with long time market favorite Fraga Farm’s goat cheese (check out their Instagram for adorable goat videos), we’re happy to represent the dairy production our county is so famous for!

I’m told it’s a good omen if it rains at the first market, and my weather app says “cloudy with a passing shower”. And oh boy do we need the rain! It’s been an incredibly warm dry spring, and our farmers have been pressed to get irrigation out early and keep young plants happy on those unseasonably hot days. I’ll be honest that I’m hoping it doesn’t rain between 4 and 7 on Friday, but if it does this is a great chance to prove your coastie cred. We are open rain or shine come support your local vendors!

And let’s dance in the rain! Our opening music act is Randy and Ray, a side duo of Astoria’s Brownsmead Flats. Rocking the guitar, mandolin, and keyboard, we can expect upbeat, danceable tunes to kick off the season! I’ll be publishing the full music schedule soon.

And remember: we accept SNAP benefits and triple match them, giving you $60 to spend for $20 in SNAP benefits every week.

See you this Friday and every Friday through September, 4-7, at Underhill Plaza behind City Hall, 635 Manzanita Ave!

Saturday, May 23rd & 30th – 12pm to 4pm

In this two-part class we are going to cover all the basics of quilting in a mini sized project. We are focusing on how to quilt from scraps to use up what would be left overs from bigger projects a quilter would make. This is both about learning the fundamentals of quilting, as much as it is understanding how to make the most of all the material used for quilting projects down to the last tiny scrap!

Things we‘ll be learning:

Piecing a Quilt Block

Putting Together a Quilt Sandwich

Glue Basting

Strait Line / Free Motion Quilting

Making & Attaching Binding

Button Hole & Button Attachment

Class Requirements-

Sewing Machine:

If needed, some extra machines are available to rent from HoC. Please let us know if you will need one (email info@heartofcartm.org or call store phone at 971-389-8414)

As many of your own notions (sewing tools) as you have:

Fabric Scissors
Seem Ripper
Iron and Mat
Washable Elmers Glue or Basting Pins
Rotary Cutter and Mat
Quilting Ruler
Fabric Marker
Needle – Size: 75/11 or 80/12 for piecing and 90/14 for quilting
Walking Foot
Guild Bar

Materials:
– anything you want to use up from your own scraps? Bring it along! If you do not have any, some will be provided.

Cotton fabric
Batting
Button
Color thread to match your scraps
Please bring one neutral colored thread for piecing even if you are not bringing your own scraps.

Knowledge (video suggestions)

Basic sewing machine functions: https://youtu.be/M1M7LA0ETQo?si=BW-EyJBo18ob9yHM

While it is not necessary to have done any quilting previously to take this class it is important that you have basic knowledge on how to use a sewing machine. If you need a quick refresh I recommend you watch this video. It is also recommended that you pull out your own sewing machine if it has been a while and get it cleaned and oiled up.

Difference Between Sewing and Quilting: https://youtu.be/DSl0BIVrRwE?si=Ga9-sFkIEDGTS5pj

While we will be touching on this during the class, having a basic understanding of the key differences between sewing and quilting is recommended prior to the class. Here is a link to a video that covers this.

This class will begin at 12pm so we ask that you arrive about 15 minutes early so we have enough time for everyone to set up before we get started.

Keep in mind that quilting is a marathon, not a sprint. It does take time, focus, patience and precision to complete a project. But with simple steps, one after the other, things begin to take shape until all the little pieces come together to make something beautiful.

UPCOMING EVENT – On June 4th, Old Grove Films, Beyond Toxics, and North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection collaborate on an event presenting a screening of “Free to Grow,” with filmmaker Jesse Andrew Clark in attendance. The half-hour documentary explores the impact of industrial pesticide use on Oregon families. Oregonians have taken up the fight against aerial herbicide spraying by the forestry industry for over fifty years — but has public safety around these substances improved?

After the film, Jennifer Eisele from Beyond Toxics will discuss practical ways that coastal residents can keep track of spraying in their communities and watersheds. This includes a first-of-its-kind map which plots pesticide applications in Oregon forests from 2014 to 2024. We will also provide resources to sign up for future forestry herbicide spray notifications through the Oregon Forestry Activity Electronic Reporting and Notification System (FERNS). Admission is free. Bay City Arts Center, 5680 A Street, Bay City, Oregon, Thursday, June 4, doors at 5:45 p.m., film at 6 p.m.

NCCWP wants no more logging and pesticide use in community drinking water sources regardless of who owns the land, and wants an end to pesticide applications near where people live, work, and recreate.

Never Play Music Right Next to the Zoo is the featured story for North Oregon Coast Symphony’s May Musical Storytime. This zany picture book follows a boy who attends a concert next to the zoo. Bored with the performance, he begins dozing off when suddenly the animals take over
the stage. The humorous verse is full of zoo creatures and instruments that children will want to learn more about. The artwork is vibrant and
engaging. Children will be giggling at both the song and the illustrations, such as the one of a hippo playing a tuba.
These free readings, for children ages 2 to 5, will feature a live accompaniment by multiple North Oregon Coast Symphony musicians, including flute, oboe, drums and violin. After the reading, preschoolers will participate in making their own music with a variety of instruments provided.The violins used in this program were purchased through a grant funded by Clatsop County Cultural Coalition and Oregon Cultural Trust. We thank both organizations for their generosity.

The first reading was held on Thursday, May 7, 2026 at 10:30 at the Astoria Library. There will be a second reading at the North
Tillamook Library in Manzanita on Monday, May 11, 2026 at 10:30. The last story time will be held at the Seaside Library on Wednesday, May
13, 2026 at 10:30.
Similar events are planned monthly in partnership between North Oregon Coast Symphony, North Tillamook Library, Seaside Library, and Astoria Library. For more information, visit the symphony’s website at www.nocsymphony.org. or www.astoria.gov/dept/Library at 503-325-7323.

Have a young runner? Each summer Ultimook Track Club facilitates a youth summer running program for Tillamook-area athletes.

“Our mission is to develop young runners in both mind and body. Young runners require a fun, supportive environment to aid in aerobic development,” Ultimook Youth Director Chelsea Yarnell said.

The Ultimook Youth Track Club is a running club designed for athletes entering PreK-eighth grades.

“Last year we have over 80 athletes that participate in our club,” Yarnell said. “Each of our practices educate young athletes on the different elements of running such as warm ups, dynamic drills, running workouts, and stretching. We modify all activities based on ages and break our crew into age groups who are overseen by coaches with running and fitness backgrounds.”

Registration is currently open. The 2026 season will run June 2 – July 30 with practices for all age groups meeting on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30-6:30 at the Tillamook Junior High School. Each group is led by a coach (or two) with experience in the areas of running, track & field, or fitness. The cost to participate is $110 for the season; financial assistance is available.

“The practices are always a highlight of my day,” Yarnell said. “Our coaches love to share their passion for running with the community, and in return, we’re always rewarded with so much enthusiasm and joy from the kids on our team.”

Returning again for its third years is the Ultimook Track & Field Day Camp. The camp will focus on introducing athletes to the various events in track in field including: running races, relays, hurdles, long jump, shot put, discus, and javelin. The day camp will be hosted at the Tillamook High School Track Monday, Wednesday, Fridays from July 6 -17 and culminate with a mock track meet on July 17. The camp is designed for those entering grades K-8. The cost for the camp is $50.

Aging in Place—a preparedness conversation
May 11, 2026 2-4pm at Pine Grove Community House

Our local community has been lauded for outstanding emergency preparedness. Yet we are completely unprepared for the one thing we know for sure is coming!

The US Dept of Health and Human services says that 77% of people over 50 have not planned for how they will age and die. If asked, most people say they want to “age in place”. We vaguely imagine ourselves living out our years in our current homes, at our current level of ability and then dying peacefully in our sleep.

Unfortunately, the reality is that for most people, the last decade may be one of physical and mental decline, and/or illness. It becomes increasingly difficult to be independent, and a high percentage of us will live our last years alone as we lose the ability to care for ourselves.

Conscious Aging and Community Connections presents local programs intended to build community and help us live our best lives. Our May 11th conversation will focus on the importance of planning ahead while we are still able. We will explore what we can do now, to live as well as we can, for as long as we can, in our own homes. We will explore other options and consider pros and cons. No doubt there will be more questions than answers, but at the very least, there will be good conversation with others who are facing similar challenges.

The list of questions is long. Who will care for you? How will you get around? Who will manage your bills? Is your current home suitable for aging in place? (It’s not just about ramps and grab bars!). What else do you need to consider before you invest in expensive adaptive equipment and/or remodeling?

The conversation, and questions we generate, are meant to inspire and motivate us to act now while we are still able. NOW is the time to get clarity about what you want and need, to research your options, plan for help, perhaps make changes to your home, get your documents in order, and maybe have that talk with your family.

Please join us for this important and no doubt, lively conversation!

All ages are welcome (may even be more beneficial for younger people!)
