with State Highway to get info on Highway 26 about delays on 101. Even

1. JimP: Sandcastle 2014 was a huge success. Other than slow moving
traffic on 101 from about 12 - 2pm or so, the weekend was enjoyed by
all. Friday night was the dinner and the parade, Saturday was the
contest, concert and bonfire and Sunday was the 5K Fun Run. All were
well attended. As for highway traffic, JeffTerHar reported when he came
over from Seaside at 1030 am, cars were backed up coming down the ramp
into town. It appeared that the "Fill the Boot" campaign at the bottom
of the hill was the cause. At 2pm he had to be back in Seaside and at
that time traffic was backed up on 101 coming into Cannon Beach to
Highway 26. As he got closer to Seaside, traffic was backed up getting
into Seaside too. He said that happens almost every summer weekend. Jeff
made a point of saying that our Sandcastle Day traffic was similar to
what you find getting into Portand most mornings. At 4pm Jeff came back
to Cannon Beach and drove straight into town without delay. Business at Ter
Hars was very good - as it was at all businesses who were in attendance
at the meeting. Pizza a Fetta set an all time record. Because of some
concern by Mayor Mike Morgan and people who complained to him about the
traffic, businesses are encouraged to write <a href="mailto:cityhall@ci.cannon-beach.or.us" target="_blank">cityhall@ci.cannon-beach.or.us</a> to
stress the value of the Cannon Beach Sandcastle Contest and a healthy
crowd to the economic viability of our business community. There was a
consensus of those in attendance that this year was the "Perfect Storm"
for a big crowd. 1. 50th Anniversary. 2. Great weather leading up to an
on Saturday. 3. Recognition by State Parks as an Oregon Heritage
Tradition. Hopes are not high to see this kind of a crowd in the near
future. <br>

5. StephanieA. It's a whole different crowd and not even similar in size
to Sandcastle, but come rain or shine, artists and art lovers will be
all over town this weekend for the 6th Annual Plein Air & More. On
Friday from 5-7pm thirteen galleries will have up to three artists each
at a special show at the Chamber Community Hall. The Cannon Beach
Gallery Group transforms the Hall into an attractive gallery. Wine and
finger food will be served on the back deck under the protection of a
large tent. Some of those artists will be out painting (and more)
already on Friday and all will be out on Saturday and Sunday creating
while you watch. On Saturday from 5-7pm there will be gallery receptions
showcasing completed works by their artists. The show at the Chamber
Hall continues on Sunday with new works and artists are back creating on
the streets and the beach. More info and maps available in galleries
and around town. And at <a href="http://www.cbgallerygroup.com/" target="_blank">www.cbgallerygroup.com</a>. <br>

Officer Josh Gregory and Officer Devon Edwards made a presentation on
adding a K-9 Officer to the Cannon Beach Police Force. One function
would be performing positive community relations through canine
demonstrations. The canine would live and work with its handler - either
Josh or Devon - whichever is chosen after today's panel interview. The
canine would be trained in two specialities. 1. Detection (drugs). 2.
Search and Rescue. The canine would not be trained to apprehend and
therefore would not bite or chase - just smell and alert his handler.
K-9's are rewarded with a ball - not food. You can help with 1. A letter
of support, 2. Spread the word. 3. Supply equipment/services to start
and sustain the program (Veterinarian Dr Remensnyder is donating
services) 4. Donate money. Call or email Jason about donating to the K-9
Program. The program is now over a third of the way toward the $25K

TracyA/JimP/All: The last of the Spring Cruise Ship Tour buses have
come and gone. They will be back in August/Sept as they transition back
to the Caribbean. Six ships sent buses with an average of about 100
people per ship to Cannon Beach and Seaside. This is an opportunity to
leave a favorable impression on first time visitors who have but one
hour to soak us in, but who will come back if we treat them right.
Bruce's Candy Kitchen supplied taffy and small plastic bags to fit 3
pieces of taffy which were handed to visitors as they stepped off the
buses. We need to be better organized when 8 ships make their way back
south. KathyK: There is a group in Astoria - Cruise Hosts - that we
should coordinate and work with. Besides the Cruise Ships heading to and
from Alaska, there are American Empress riverboat cruises that come
from Lewiston ID down the Columbia to Astoria They too offer bus tours,
but have not been coming to Cannon Beach.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">8.
GeorgeV: Look for an email from the Chamber asking whether you would
pay a minimum of $15 per month to have your business name, address,
phone in a full page ad once per month in the weekly Coast Weekend. If
enough (approx fifty $15 advertisers, fewer if larger ads) people
respond, the Chamber will add $150. Coast Weekend will then be brought
back to town.<cite></cite></p>
