Christmas at the Port

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.

One more time…..

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.

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.

Women in Business Monthly Meeting at the ARTISAN

 

Spread the news! to other Women in Business on the Peninsula
 
 Monthly gatherings to learn and share with other local
women entrepreneurs.
 
Next meeting: October 15th (we meet every third Thursday of the month)      
Time: 11:30-1pm, bring your lunch
 
Refuge and City News!  Come and get the update on local goings on… plus!
 
Looking forward to seeing you this Thursday!
 
First we’ll hear from the new Executive Director of The Friends of Willapa National Wildlife Refuge (FWNWR),  our own Bev Arnoldy.  She’ll bring us up to date on all the activities (of which there are many!) with the Refuge and Friends group. 
Next will be Long Beach’s City Planner, Gayle Borchard who will share with us, Change for Good, the 4 new codes (building, uniform development, zoning, penalties), code enforcement, and how to work with the Community Development department.  Key insights many of us will want to be up on for us, our clients or customers!
We may also have an update from a new business owner. 
So a full meeting ahead of lots of good information and sharing. 
Looking forward to our time together this Thursday at 11:30.
 
The reasons for a local women business owners group are many:
– to provide a supportive and informal atmosphere where we can network with our peers
– to take advantage of proven best-business practices
– to keep up-to-date on the changes in all areas of business
For only the cost of our time and a willingness to share our expertise, we can help each other to grow and prosper.
LOCATION:  Donna Rew’s lovely
Artisan!

Slow Drag at the Port of Ilwaco -Drag Queens

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.
