George: Summer is here. We all hope and pray that visitors fill our businesses and keep our registers ringing. Since most of our visitors come here in their cars, they need parking. If we, owners and employees, take up the most convenient spaces before our visitors have a chance, we force them to accept less convenient parking or to just move on down the road to the next town. Parking spaces on Hemlock will turn over 8 times or more in a day if left for visitors. James says when he was in Lincoln city a study was done and it was estimated that one parking space represented 64 people/shoppers. 22 new spaces have been added at the east end of 2<sup>nd</sup> street and more will come online soon. Put some money in your pocket and burn a few calories by seeing how far you can walk to work - or bike. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>17.

The bad had to do with the weather and the early incoming tide. The misty, drizzly, rain was constant. The crowd was estimated by Carol as being a quarter of last year. (Last year was a banner crowd year) The concessions had to close up an hour and a half earlier than expected because the police ordered the cars off the beach at noon instead of 130pm as anticipated. The good was that we had 5 Master plots and 35 others. And those attending were in a good mood, having a good time. George said that in his many years involved in the setup, this was probably the best. There were plenty of volunteers and Don Boehm along with John Nelson and his Coaster Construction crew and equipment were organized and ready for the task. Coaster Construction was not only a sponsor for the event, but also put the money up for the cash prizes. Plus they supplied new stakes, poles and signs which made set-up easier than ever. Master plots were circles with room for the crowds all the way around. George’s contest photos can be seen by clicking on the “2011” link at <a href="http://www.cannon-beach.net/sandcastle.html">www.cannon-beach.net/sandcastle.html</a>.

Wendy: A people choice award, where flags are sold and placed on a plot of the holders choice. The plot with the most flags is the People’s Choice. George: Move the Masters onto the soft sand and supply them with water so that they can be preserved through Sunday. Right now everything is compressed into about 4 hours. Once the ropes come down, the thrashers go to work destroying the sculptures and the attraction is gone. In the mass exodus, people leave town without having visited our restaurants, shops or galleries. If people knew they could come back at sunset or even just arrive at sunset, they may take more time to see the town. Sunday could become a big day, especially when the weather is better on Sunday than on Saturday. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>3. George: Debbie Nelson has said that she and Sam Steidel will not be doing the Wednesday Community Build next year. Jeff suggested we do it on Second Street where the car shows are held.

For the first 3 quarters, Motel Tax revenues are down by 4%. ScottC and WendyH both say that it doesn’t look like this last qtr will be up. So TAC recipient organizations are not likely to receive the amounts originally estimated. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>4.

Brennan is leading the group restoring the Cannons found on Arch Cape beach in 2008. Brennan is a Texas A&M grad student and this is his thesis. This is his first trip to the Oregon Coast since he was 11 years old. He and his school shared the trip expenses. He says the first cannon is restored and is almost pristine. Both cannons are from the USS Shark as is the one at our History Center. While Brennan is here, Robert and he are shooting video. Today they visited the site at Arch Cape and picked up some metal pieces that could be associated with the USS Shark.
