I had to double-check our upcoming events calendar, but yes… somehow, it’s almost Summerfolk weekend already.
That means it’s just about Salmon Spectacular time, and then it’s all downhill to Halloween. We might as well start the Christmas shopping now. 🎄😁
Back up a step, though.
One local resident is hoping we can get a bit of a mess on Bayshore Road taken care of before all those anglers show up. It seems we aren’t putting our best foot forward at the east Bayshore Road boat launch.
Hopefully, we can get some eyes – and action – on that site.
