Fencepost readers appreciate Doug Olson writing with updates regarding recurring events that we may be wondering about. The annual “Birding and Blues Festival” is not happening this year. And the yearly “Reach the Beach” bicycle ride has relocated its finish line to Astoria for 2023. The event was held in May for the past decade plus finishing at Cape Kiwanda. It’s among the single largest fundraisers for the American Lung Association.
Chamber will not be sponsoring fireworks on July 4th. The annual professional fireworks display “costs about $17,000, it requires about a dozen volunteers from the community and requires quite a bit of up-front work,” according to Olson. There is time for another community group to take that on, if there’s interest, he said.
Clover’s Day (traditionally the first weekend in July) and Dory Dats (traditionally the third weekend in July), however, are off to a great start. Watch this space for details as they are made available.
Happy birthday this week to: Piper Armstrong, Jo Baker, Patrick Byrd, Jesse Cantlon, Hilary Gallino, Keegan Jones, Jim Kiser, Denise Lane, Jay Lane, Kristi Miller, Candy Pengelly, Al Randall, Kathy Schaefer, Tegan Slavens, Trudy Small and Brett Webster.
