Labor Day weekend was full of fun on and off the water across the North Beach. While only a slight sprinkle fell under mostly sunny skies, some North Beach notables got more than wet.
Ocean Shores Police Chief Neccie Logan took the plunge (again and again) at the dunking booth at the Paddle the Shores event held Saturday at Oyhut Bay Seaside Village and produced by the non-profit Ocean Shores Fresh Waterways Corp.
About 50 human-power watercraft, and a lot of landlubbers as well, turned out for the Paddle the Shores event held Saturday at Oyhut Bay. Highlights included 6-mile and 2-mile people-powered boat races on the canal system that is part of 23 miles of fresh waterways in Ocean Shores.
Michael Lampi, from Bellevue, piloted his home-made pedal-powered trimaran to first place in the 2-mile race at the Paddle the Shores event held Saturday at Oyhut Bay in Ocean Shores. Vern Heikki and Jon Harwood, both of Westport, were second in their 26-foot-long Hawaiian-style outrigger.
At the Ocean Shores Convention Center, “Bubble Artist” Ed Schroll, who doubles as the president of Associated Arts of Ocean Shores, delighted young and old alike during the 50th annual AAOS Arts & Crafts Festival Saturday afternoon.
Some of the other highlights: Ocean Shores blacksmith Clayton Tupper created functional and decorative iron works the old fashioned way. The Tami’s Treasures booth at the 50th annual AAOS Arts & Crafts Festival included Tami Sperry-Shaw’s husband Glen Shaw, who was stitching away on a Halloween haunted house counted cross-stitch design. The couple came from Stanwood, WA, to participate in the Labor Day weekend event.
On Sunday, hundreds of people lined the highway and streets from Moclips to Pacific Beach for the annual Kelpers Festival Parade and Shake Rat Rendezvous.
Moclips claimed the Tug-of-War trophy in the contest with Pacific Beach, with its captain being King Clam for 2018 Matt Lockwood.
