Saturday, Dec 5th was a fantastic day at Ilwaco. The Christmas Saturday Market was buzzing, and the Ilwaco Jazz Band was awesome as usual. The Lighted Boat Parade and Crab Pot Christmas Tree lighting ceremony came off without a hitch (even the pyrotechnic) I was fortunate to go out again on the Triumph, and if you haven’t seen the parade from the water side of things, you’re missing out. Thanks you to all the boats that participated, Rachel Lake and the Ilwaco High Jazz Band, Richard Ellis, and everyone who helped make this event a success.

Thanks to Dirk, Pete, and Pete we once again, have a crab pot tree! They finished the lights and garland, and it looks great, all set for Saturday night.

One more time, I will reiterate that the Ilwaco Merchants Association AS A GROUP has NO political affiliation. It neither endorses nor opposes ANY political candidate. The Ilwaco Merchants Association has no secret agenda, and does not, has not, and never will control the city council. It’s sole purpose is to provide community based events for the people of the Long Beach Peninsula and it’s visitors, so that all may “Discover Ilwaco”. Period.

the Imperial Schooner is scheduled to re-open Wed. Oct. 28th. We may be open limited hours for a little while yet, but we should be there at least through lunch. Thank you for your support,
Clint and Laurie

Two of the bands from this years Blues and Seafood event, Boogie Bone and the Strange Tones have been nominated for a Muddy Award by the members of the Cascade Blues Association. One of the four categories Boogie Bone was nominated for is Best Live Performance: Boogie Bone at the Ilwaco Blues Festival. The awards ceremony is Nov 5th at the Melody Ballroom in Portland. Both bands have websites where they can be sent a “Good Luck” email, so let’s give them both all the moral support we can.

Dec. 5th will be a night of fun in Ilwaco, as the lighting of the World’s Largest Crab Pot Christmas Tree, the Ilwaco Lighted Boat Parade, AND Peninsula Players’ holiday show Fruitcakes will all be happening! Stay tuned for details as you won’t want to miss any of these fun events.

This is an event at the Port of Ilwaco every year. The goal of the ‘race’ is to be the last one over the finish line, it is a double elimination. This year, sadly, ‘The Drag Queens’ (that’s us) were eliminated quickly. Looks like the Carmen Miranda costume didn’t help! But a great day.
