Did you enjoy the weather this week?  It almost felt like summer yesterday, especially when the fog rolled in.  Kite Festival will be in full swing next week.  If you love festivals, kites, and fun, it’s time to come to the beach.

Had a great time at the Art Walk in Ilwaco last night.  Wine at Raven & Finch, dinner at Pelicano…  the company was excellent too!  Last chance to enjoy this great Art Walk will be September 4.

Here’s what’s coming up at the Beach:

The highway department states that there will be minimal road work next week in order to avoid disruption of traffic coming to the peninsula for Kite Festival. However, at least once or twice during the week, one of their sign guys will be out on the shoulder of 101, between the bridge and the tunnel and again east of the bridge near Megler, to do some sign repairs. This may result in a bit of slowing down, if drivers wish to be cautious. Otherwise, our roads will be clear!
