Today, March 26, Judy took the money they had collected and purchased dog food which was delivered to the shelter.  Judy also donates  the money for ingredients.

Look for these great dog treats in various businesses on the Long Beach Peninsula, including Discovery Coast Real Estate where you can find a home for you and your best friend(s)!  Don’t have a best friend?  There are several loving dogs and cats waiting for their forever homes at the South Pacific County Humane Society. Remember, the adoption fee for all the cats in the “Jungle Room” has been paid for by Discovery Coast Real Estate.

This could be your lucky day!  Discovery Coast Real Estate is going to pay the adoption fee for the first 5 adult cats adopted during this event. Jake, Elwood, Smokey, Gabby, Frank and Julie invite you to attend and take home someone to love.

Ever been to the Doggie Olympics? Like organizing things?  The future depends on a new chairperson.  If you’d be interested in helping out in this capacity, please let me know.  This is a fun event and we have great ideas for next year’s “games”.

Do you own property at the beach that you’d like to sell but haven’t been able to?  Ever want to own a fishing boat?  Have I got a deal for you!    The owner of the Mariner would like to trade this beauty for partial payment on a vacation home here at the beach.    Contact me for more info.

One last note about something you might want to attend:

There will be a dedication on Saturday, September 19, in Long Beach to 
celebrate the completion of the Discovery Trail which runs from south 
to the Port of Ilwaco. The event will begin at 9 AM at the Bolstad 
Beach Approach and will include a Chinook tribal blessing, ribbon 
cutting and a walk/run/bike along the trail.

That’s all for now, except for the requisite pet photo!

Saturday night was Rotary’s Oysters and Art – what great food! Rotary works hard and really devotes a lot of time to their projects.  I’m glad I was able to attend, even though I didn’t manage to score anything at the silent auction.

A couple of things coming up at the beach:

The Inn at Harbour Village is hosting a free concert on Friday.  Friday March 13th.
