In short: our nonprofit, the Tolovana Arts Colony, is preparing to run our 9th annual Holiday Bazaar in Cannon Beach.
Our event is a little different than the usual Holiday sales events–it’s more of a pop-up gallery. Rather than sitting behind your work at a table all day, you simply drop off your work, we handle all sales and pay you afterward.
There is no cost to exhibit, but the Arts Colony keeps 25% of sales; you keep 75%.
If you are a maker of arts, crafts, non-perishable/packaged foods, home goods, clothing or something else cool we haven’t even thought of, please email us at tolovanaartscolony@gmail.com (or call 541-215-4445) and let’s see if you’re a fit to add to this very successful bazaar.
*The fine print: as space is limited, we’re looking for styles of arts and crafts different to things than we already have. For example, if we have a shoe-maker already lined up, we not have room for another shoe-maker who creates a similar shoe style.
The Guide features profiles of 40 Tillamook County organizations and information about 130 organizations providing services, resources and support that improve the quality of life for everyone in our community.
The Giving Guide is produced by Fulcrum Community Resources and the Tillamook County Pioneer to provide information and encouragement to support with your dollars and your time, these vitally important organizations.
On the cover this year is a photo by Gary Seelig of a double rainbow, a long time symbol of promise—a promise that our stalwart organizations that help so many people and our earthly home will continue to be strong and robust in the challenging times ahead. Your generosity is needed and appreciated more than ever! Each hour and dollar given is precious and important and brightens our rainbow of promise.
By making your year-end giving donations locally, you not only keep your money circulating here at home, you are adding your care, compassion and hope so our organizations can function powerfully. The time that you give volunteering adds another rich layer of care, compassion and hope.
Our organizations impact all aspects of our lives, from health and wellness, sustainability, environmental stewardship, conservation, food security, housing, universal access, women’s issues, children’s well-being, animal welfare, education, safety, disaster relief, community preparedness, and arts and culture. They create a strong, vibrant and resilient community. They collaborate and form partnerships which build a culture of efficiency, cooperation and communication. They provide jobs, a trained and inclusive workforce, volunteer opportunities, internships, and training. They give us opportunities to connect, heal, play and hope. And they need our support to continue to make a difference!
Thank you to all those who have donated, discovered and volunteered in past years.
And let’s all give what we can this year.

After meeting with grief counselors and talking to staff, management decided to close the pool for the rest of the week.
The pool will re-open on Monday Nov. 25th.
Staff needs some time to continue to process and grieve. We feel that it would honor the loss of our community member to keep the pool closed at this time.
Thank you for your understanding.
There was a medical incident in the pool this afternoon.
No additional information is available at this time and we will provide an update when appropriate.
What to expect this week:
– Building slab vapor barrier installation.
– Building slab rebar installation.
– Building slab concrete pour scheduled for Friday 11/22.
Major milestones on the project:
– Perimeter stem walls have been poured, waterproofed, insulated and backfilled.
– Building slab subgrade has been compacted and fine graded.
– Interior under-slab plumbing and electrical rough-in is complete.
About the new Health Center and Pharmacy:
– The Health Center and Pharmacy project is being developed by the Nehalem Bay Health District. The District will own the facility and medical service will be provided by the local non-profit Nehalem Bay Health Center.
– The new Health Center will triple the size of the current facility (the former Rinehart Clinic) and have space to accommodate specialty services, including dental and x-ray.
– Substantial funding for the project has been provided by a local bond measure – thank you to the community – and generous contributions from among others 1st Security Bank of Washington, and the Roundhouse, Samuel S. Johnson, Ford Family and Autzen Foundations.

Show your support for “20 is Plenty” in the city by placing one of these limited-edition signs in your yard!
Last but not least the City is updating the Comprehensive Plan for the first time in nearly 30 years! The Comprehensive Plan provides a policy framework to guide the future of Manzanita. This plan is community driven which means we need to hear from you! We held our first community summit on October 28th to a sold-out house at the Pine Grove Community Center where community members shared their ideas on the future of housing in our community. But we want to hear from more of you, so we have posted a survey online for you to take to give us your input. There is a recording of the meeting introduction and a short survey – please take the time to share your ideas about the future of housing in our wonderful city. You can link to the survey from the city’s main page at www.ci.manzanita.or.us/ There are also lots of resources available about the effort on the project website.
Thanks for all you do to make Manzanita a wonderful place to live, work and play! See you at the Holiday Tree Lighting.
