talkback Airport labeled dangerous Twenty years ago I sent the FAA my first complaint about the airplane that almost hit my roof. Around that time, two planes crashed into the real estate office and one plane left its rear wheel embedded in the roof of the same office. I was visited by the FAA’s head chief administrator for the Northwest region.

The senior administrator told me the FAA had warned the ODA ( Oregon Department of Aviation ) that they thought the PC Airport was dangerous and that no more funding would come from the Feds to keep the airport open. They cited a short runway, poor visibility, and the fact that too many near misses and accidents have occurred here with vehicles on the road and airplanes crashing. Pacific City has outgrown the airport. The FAA said they very strongly disagreed with the number put forth by the ODA as to the amount of planes that landed and took off each year. They had evidence of 1,200 airplanes coming and going as opposed to the 5,000 reported by the ODA. This of course lowers the economic impact by the proponents of the airport as to practically speak-

ing almost no money coming into our community from pilots. Most pilots come and go in the same day.

Most of our money that is made here is from vacation rentals and they are put in danger by overflights and the possibility of visitors being struck by an airplane on the road at the end of the runway during an unsuccessful takeoff or as we recently saw a power failure and a crash into the river. It could have been much much worse.

Obviously Mitch Swecker has seriously thought about the safety of the airport and sees that there are “safety issues” as he puts it that for some unknown reason he thinks can be improved by a private citizen buying the airport.

So it makes you wonder who will watch out for the citizens of Pacific City if the airport ends up in private hands. The answer is nobody.

The simple question we should be asking is do we want to continue to endanger people in our town so we can have an airport for the use of a few people ?

BCAC seeks entries for Oregon Coast Songwriting Contest The Bay City Arts Center is soliciting entries for its Oregon Coast Songwriting Contest, which is open to all ages and genders everywhere.

“The goal is to showcase — and reward — good writing,” says Arts Center vice-president Joe Wrabek.

Finalists will be invited to perform on stage, and one finalist will be awarded a $500 grand prize. This is the second year for the contest.

“Last year, we had entrants from as far away as England,” Wrabek said.

Entrants are asked to submit recordings of three original songs, along with a $30 entry fee. The deadline for submissions is April 15, and finalists will be selected by a threejudge panel by or before May 1.

Up to eight finalists will be invited to perform live at the Arts Center on a “Dinner and Finals Night” in June.

“It’ll be after all the schools have closed, so it’ll be easier for people to travel,” Wrabek said. The performances will be streamed live over the Internet — a practice that’s become an Arts Center specialty. “The dinners are an Arts Center specialty, too,” Wrabek noted.

Judges for the contest are Michael Simpson, a music teacher and multi-instrumentalist who plays with the KISS tribute band, Dr. Love; Eric Sappington, winner of the Oregon Coast Songwriting Contest in 2017; and Wrabek, an award-winning songwriter who plays with a gospel band and a senior-citizen rock ‘n roll band.

Details about the contest, and an entry form, are on a WordPress “page,” 2017contest.wordpress.com.

A separate e-mail address has been set up for entries at orcoast.songwritingcontest@gmail.com.

Library to host ‘Prepping Your Memoir’ talk on Jan. 20 What is a memoir and why is it so important? How do you tell a story about your life when some of the key characters are still alive — and might not thank you for it?

Prepping Your Memoir with Athena, scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 20, 1-2:30 p.m. at South Tillamook County Library, 6200 Camp St., Pacific City, is a discus-

sion that will delve into what it takes to make the decision to tell your story, and how to set yourself up to go through events all over again.

For more information, call the South Tillamook County Library at 503-965-6163. The presentation will also repeat on Saturday, Jan 27, 1-2:30 p.m. at North Tillamook Library in Manzanita.

The presentation will be lead by Amanda Monaco Swanson, trafficking

intervention coordinator with the Oregon Dept. of Justice and Erin Ludwig, a victim specialist with the FBI. Human trafficking has become the second largest criminal industry in the world. The event will bring awareness to not only what is happening here in Tillamook but also what is happening statewide. There will be an opportunity to learn about how the community can take action and make a difference.

Historical Society annual meeting set for Jan. 28 Tillamook County Historical Society will host their annual meeting and luncheon Sunday, Jan. 28, 1 p.m. at Bay City Arts Center, 5680 A St. in Bay City. A soup and salad lunch will be served for $10.

The Tillamook County Board of Commissioners will hold a listening session for South Tillamook County residents on Tuesday, Jan. 23, starting at 6 p.m., at Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City.

Tillamook County Commissioner David Yamamoto told the Sun that the session is an outreach from the Board of Commissioners that, in part, is meant to replace the Board’s former policy of holding meetings once a quarter in various community venues,

a policy that was cancelled because of security concerns.

“We don’t want to lose contact with our constituents,” Yamamoto said. “We feel this is a good first step into the community to see what their concerns are.”

The message, he said, is that commissioners are still concerned about what the citizens are concerned about.

The listening session doesn’t have a formal agenda but, rather, is open to any concerns the community may have.

“We’ll respond to whatever issues that people have,” Yamamoto said.

Reading in the Dark’ presentation to honor National Braille Literacy Awareness Month The Tillamook Bay Community College Library will host “Reading in the Dark: Demystifying Oregon’s Free Library for the Print-disabled,”on Monday, Jan. 22, starting at 6 p.m.

The presentation, held in celebration of National Braille Literacy Awareness Month, will feature an interactive look at the Oregon Talking Book and Braille Library and provide information on this free service, which allows qualifying participants to access reading materials.

The service, provided by the State of Oregon Library, lends materials through the mail or digital downloads for Oregon state residents with visual, physical, and reading impairments.

“We often take for granted our

ability to access reading materials that fit our needs, but a resource like this helps provide equitable access for all members of the community,” states Lisa Taylor, TBCC Library assistant and organizer of the event.

Although the Library has been in Oregon since 1932, many Oregonians have no idea that it exists at all. Public Services Librarian Elke Bruton, from the State of Oregon Library, will be sharing information and answering questions about the service.

The presentation, located in room 214, is scheduled to run about an hour with time for questions. For more information or questions, contact Lisa Taylor at 503-842-8222, ext.

1710 or lisataylor@tillamookbaycc. edu.

Library to host Social Security workshop on Jan. 31 Social Security officials will take aim at several benefit topics during a free workshop held at the main branch of Tillamook County Library on Wednesday, Jan. 31, 10 a.m.-1 p.m. The workshop will address when retirees will be eligible to receive benefits; how early retirement affects benefits; qualification for disability, survivor and spouse benefits; and how to get the most out of benefits. As well, officials will discuss the future of Social Security

and when applicants should file for Medicare.

In addition, applications for replacement Social Security cards will be taken. Applicants must have valid identification and be a US citizen. For more information, call the Tillamook County Library at 503-842-4792, ext. 1708. The program will be held in the Hatfield Community Room at the Tillamook County Library, 1716 Third Street, Tillamook.

Anglers urged to turn in 2017 Combined Angling Tags, Hatchery Harvest Cards ODFW is reminding anglers to turn in their 2017 Combined Angling Tags and/or Hatchery Salmon/Steelhead Harvest Cards — also known as Hatchery Harvest Tags —as soon as possible.

The documents should be returned even by those that didn’t catch any fish or go fishing.

Anglers with an annual fishing license are required to use the Combined Angling Tags and/or Hatchery Harvest Cards to track the number, type and location of fish harvested, providing ODFW with valuable harvest statistics.

“While it’s not mandatory to turn the cards in, we encourage anglers to return them,” said Mike Gauvin, ODFW recreational fisheries manager. “The

information helps us better estimate salmon and steelhead harvest rates, which means we can better manage these fisheries.”

One-day and multi-day licenses also have space to track salmon, steelhead and halibut harvest. Anglers who purchased these documents are also encouraged to return them to ODFW. Combined Angling Tags, Hatchery Salmon/Steelhead Harvest Cards and one-or multi-day licenses can be turned in to most POS agents or at any ODFW office located throughout the state. The cards can also be mailed to any ODFW office or to ODFW Headquarters, 4034 Fairview Industrial Drive SE, Salem, OR 97302.

isitors to Pacific City now have a new place to put up their feet after a day in the surf. Headlands Coastal Lodge & Spa, a 33-room oceanfront hotel, opened to the public on Jan. 12.

The longtime dream of developers Jeff Schons and Mary Jones, the hotel also features Meridian, a 56-seat restaurant and bar, the Fireside Room, a full-service spa, a library room, and two meeting rooms that open up to an inviting patio.

“The inspiration (for the hotel) started when we purchased the property in ’95,” Jones said. “We realized it was quite an amazing, spectacular piece of property.”

“We wanted to build something that would stand up to the site,” Schons added. “I think we’ve done it. I think we really pulled it off.”

Unique touches are spread throughout the new hotel and include a wood-burning fireplace in the lobby, a shower to rinse off sandy feet at the ocean-side entrance, and art by local artists throughout.

Each of the rooms feature panoramic ocean, Haystack Rock and Cape Kiwanda views from every point in the room including the bathroom, thanks to a glass-enclosed shower that opens to the main room and the view beyond.

All rooms also have racks to hang surf boards, local art and a private deck overlooking the beach. Forty percent of the rooms are dog-friendly. The king rooms also feature a soaking tub. Each of the three floors will also be served by a pantry where guests can not only fill up their ice buckets, but purchase — for a modest price — a variety of mostly Oregon sourced items such as ice cream, cheese, jerky, snacks, energy bars and more.

Even the hallways at the lodge have a coastal flair to them. The aptly named Haystack Hall features a view of Haystack Rock from start to finish and is also lined with art curated by local artist Judith Schlicting of Rowboat Gallery.

Accommodations await for those that need to do a little business, too. The lodge features two meeting rooms, each of which can serve groups of 14-20, that both open up to an outside patio.

Those seeking to keep up their fitness routine will also be well taken care of, as will those needing a little relaxation. The lodge’s Tidepools Spa & Wellness center features an outdoor hot tub and fire table, three treatment rooms, a steam room each for men and women, fitness equipment and an instruction room where guests can partake in activities such as yoga, Pilates and meditation — either with a live or virtual instructor.

OCEAN VIEW DINING Another big part of the Headlands experience is the open feel of the common areas that include the lobby, Meridian and the Fireside Room.

“It’s really been fun to see Meridian evolve into what we believe will be the heartbeat of this whole facility,” Schons said. “When you walk in, you’re a part of that whole lobby experience which is really defined by the restaurant and bar.

is very deliberate to connect all those spaces to create an active, vibrant and energized social area.”

Open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. at the restaurant and 2:30 p.m. to close at the bar, Meridian features the skills of Chef Andrew Garrison who will serve up Northwest coastal cuisine sourced from the sea, local vendors and Mary’s Herb Garden at the lodge. Reservations can be made at opentable.com.

Garrison, a Minnesota native, trained at Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts Minneapolis/St. Paul.

He moved to Oregon in 2014 to work at the Jory at the Allison Inn & Spa in Newberg, Oregon, where he served as sous chef for two years. In early 2017, he took over as executive chef for the four dining properties at the Salishan Spa & Golf Resort where he updated the dining program, cultivated relationships with local vendors and oversaw a complete kitchen renovation. His specialties include wine and food pairings, developing seasonal menus, foraging, whole-beast butchery, charcuterie and gluten-free cooking.

“He is really skilled with sourcing local products,” Jones said. “We have great seafood.”

A double-sided gas fireplace separates the dining area from the Fireside Room where 15-20 guests can enjoy a snack or glass of wine, play a game and soak up the view. And on the room’s

western boundary, an all-glass wall not only offers sweeping views but will be able to be fully opened up during good weather giving guests an outdoor feel.

Though the hotel itself is impressive, Schons and Jones are equally proud of the service they are seeking to extend.

One example of that service is the adventure coaches employed by the hotel. Adventure coaches, who have an office in the lobby, will help guests to schedule, book and guide whatever excursion they’d like to embark on.

“Our intention is we’re really going to help you figure it out and do all the amazingly wonderful things there are to do (in the area),” Jones said.

“We tried to create a facility and service level where it captures the spirit of Pacific City,” Schons said. “This is a very different place. It’s all about activity and doing things. We wanted to build this haven for people to really enjoy where it’s a totally comfortable experience inside and unpretentious and high quality, but also encourage people to venture outdoors. It’s service without pretentiousness. We call it hospitality Oregon style.”

Headlands Coastal Lodge and Spa is located on the beach at Cape Kiwanda at 33000 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City.

Storm brings heavy surf, closes beaches

CAPE KIWANDA endured high waves and tides Thursday, Jan. 19 in an event that was predicted to produce coastal flooding and possible beach erosion. Several state parks, including Cape Kiwanda State Natural Area, were closed for a few hours in the afternoon due to the dangerous conditions. Offshore bouys reported ocean swell heights up to 36 feet in the morning, which were predicted to remain above 25 feet through the late evening. Visitors watching from the parking lot were treated to the sight of waves crashing over Cape Kiwanda, at left, and the beach being totally covered with rolling ocean waves, above.

NESTUCCA JR.-SR. HIGH SCHOOL seniors Carissa Albin (flute) and Kayla Cross (alto saxophone) represented the school at the Northwest Honor Bands event, held at Pacific Lutheran University, Tacoma, Washington, Jan. 5-6.

The weekend started with the pair participating in two days of auditions.

They were then assigned chair placement in the event’s Concert Band. Albin was sixth chair out of 21 of the best flutes in the northwest, and Cross was fifth chair out of 15 altos. Nestucca band director Kathleen Serven says she was very pleased with how both Bobcat musicians performed and is happy they got to have this experience. The Northwest High School Honor Bands featured music performed by approximately 250 of the finest high school musicians from Idaho, Oregon and Washington. Outstanding high school students are recommended for participation in the event by their high school band directors and the concert is a culmination of two days of intense rehearsals with guest clinicians.

ODFW seeks nominees for Pacific fisheries council The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is accepting nominations for a seat on the Pacific Fishery Management Council. The deadline to request nomination materials is Feb. 8 and the three-year term begins Aug. 11.

The Council manages approximately 119 species of groundfish, pelagic species (sardines, anchovies and mackerel) and highly migratory species (tunas, sharks and swordfish) off the coasts of Oregon, Washington and California. It includes 14 voting members representing tribal and state fish and wildlife agencies, and private citizens knowledgeable about sport fishing, commercial fishing and/or marine conservation. Several advisory councils and PFMC staff members also participate in Council meetings.

The ideal candidate would be knowledgeable of fishery resource conservation and management in marine waters off the West Coast.

Specific knowledge of and experience in management issues and fisheries is important, as is a strong conservation ethic. The successful candidate also must work collectively with other council members, often making difficult

Page 10 • Pacific City SUN • January 19, 2018

decisions and fulfilling the standards set forth by the Magnuson-Stevens Act. Council members make a substantial time commitment to fully participate in council business and related activities.

The Oregon seat is currently held

by Dorothy Lowman, who is not eligible for re-appointment. ODFW will send all nominations to the Governor’s office, which will then forward the names of at least three candidates to the National Marine Fisheries Service and U.S. Department of Commerce for consideration. Successful appointees must pass an extensive FBI background check.

Those interested in being considered, or wishing to nominate someone, need to contact Cyreis Schmitt at 541867-4741 or cyreis.c.schmitt@state.or.us no later than Feb. 8.

The Pacific Fishery Management Council is one of eight regional fishery management councils established by the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act to manage fisheries from three to 200 miles offshore of the U.S. coastline. The Pacific Council is responsible for fisheries off the coasts of California, Oregon and Washington.

CAC leads debate on proposed changes to community plan, will vote on whether to support it on Feb. 3

By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun

T

he Pacific City-Woods Citizen Advisory Committee led a discussion on Tillamook County’s proposed changes to the zoning regulations in the Pacific City-Woods growth boundary during its monthly membership meeting on Jan. 15.

The discussion, which the CAC held in hopes of holding a vote of either support or non-support of the current draft of both the community plan and its accompanying zone changes, proved contentious at times with some saying the changes would ruin the town while others defended it, noting that the looser restrictions — particularly in high-density zones — merely will add greater flexibility for housing projects.

In recognition of the belief that not all in attendance had read the latest proposal, the CAC postponed its vote until Feb. 3, when it will hold an emergency meeting at Pacific Coast Bible Church, 35220 Brooten Rd., Pacific City, starting at 10:30 a.m. The need for a prompt vote exists because written comments — including any recommendation by the CAC — are due by 4 p.m. on Feb. 6. Following that, the Tillamook County Planning Commission will take up the matter on Thursday, Feb. 15, starting at 7 p.m., at Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Dr., Pacific City.

The Planning Commission is tasked with making a recommendation for or against to the Tillamook County Board of Commissioners, who are slated to address the issue on March 29, 2 p.m., at Tillamook County Courthouse.

Prior to the Jan. 15 general membership meeting of the CAC, which began at 6:30 p.m., the group’s Land Use Committee met, deciding at their meeting to recommend support of the new community plan and zone changes to the greater membership.

As previously reported in the Sun, key changes revolve around an increase in density that members of the review community herald as being more flexible with the idea of making development of more diverse housing options — in particular multi-family housing — possible.

In the proposed changes, one- to eight-family dwellings — including townhouses, rowhouses, apartments and condominiums — would be a use permitted outright. Currently, uses permitted outright are limited to a four-family dwelling in R3 zoned property. As well, the proposed changes remove the requirement for an additional 2,000 square feet of lot area for each additional family unit on a minimum sized lot — which is 5,000 square feet — in R3 zones. Structures exceeding eight units will need to get a conditional use permit.

Setbacks in the R3 zone, too, are more relaxed — but only for multi-family dwellings. In an earlier version of the proposal, it was changed from 15 feet in the front and 20 in the rear to a maximum front and rear combination of 30 feet with neither front or rear setbacks smaller than 10 feet (5 feet for corner lots, which must have a larger side setback on the street side). However, in the Jan. 3 revision, that reduction only applies to multi-plexes.

In the commercial zones — both C1 and C2 — multifamily dwellings exceeding four units — including townhouses, row house, condominiums and apartments —would become an outright use if the current language is adopted. Currently a conditional use is required for these.

As reported in the Dec. 22, 2017 issue of the Sun, Community Development Director Sarah Absher has explained that part of the reasoning for the increase in density “is to address the housing need and the housing shortage that Tillamook County is currently facing.”

Some of the approximately 60 residents, though, present during the CAC’s Jan. 15 meeting, asserted that the changes could damage the character of the town.

Local resident Ken Moffett, who was given Page 12 • Pacific City SUN • January 19, 2018

time on the agenda at the top of the discussion to discuss his viewpoints, took issue with the relaxed standards.

“These changes will destroy decades of careful and respectful planning,” he said.

He added that his worry is that in areas where setbacks have been reduced, multi-plexes will become more common.

“If you rent a small house on a bigger lot, these out-of-state development investors will come in and buy that little house from the owner, scrape if off and put up a four or five-plex and try for on-street parking,” he said. “If our commissioners ratify this, it will destroy this community.”

He also expressed his concern that though the originally proposed height limit increases were taken out, they could be inserted back in when the Planning Commission reviews the document.

Making a counterpoint to his argument was Community Plan Review Committee member Ielean Rouse, who said that the main changes to the high-density zone were done “to try to address some of the workforce issues.

“We all have families that work here,” she said.

“Now, I don’t know where they live. Maybe they live in Cloverdale. Some people seem to think that that’s the answer, building houses in Cloverdale where land is more affordable. Well, I don’t want to live in Cloverdale. I would like to live here. I hope that people who work here can live here also.”

In reference to the height limits, she said that height limits were returned to the original heights in large part due to feedback from Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District Fire Chief Jim Oeder and Pacific City Joint Water-Sanitary Authority Manager Tony Owen.

Also defending the proposal was committee member Anne Price, who said that a reduction in some setbacks doesn’t mean the rest of the longstanding standards — such as parking requirements — aren’t in play.

“When you factor in the setbacks, the parking requirements, the access to the property and all those kinds of things, the size of the lot has more to do with how many units would be able to be approved,” she said. “On most lots in Pacific City, you wouldn’t be able to get (them approved for large multiplexes).

“We tried to make (setbacks) in this draft a bit more flexible. We did not eliminate them.”

Not all changes though point to an easing of standards. For a time, the Community Plan Review committee considered not allowing accessory structures such as garages to be built without first building a primary residence. The change has been relaxed somewhat and now stipulates that, with a conditional use permit, accessory structures may be built without an on-site primary use provided they are no larger than 750 square feet or 24 feet height. As well, bed and breakfast enterprises, when allowed, would have to be “within an owner-occupied primary residence.”

Price also said that no matter what side of the issue you land on, your voice is important.

“Any individual person is welcomed and encouraged to consider the proposed changes and provide their feedback directly to the Planning Commission,” she said.

Although oral testimony will be heard at the Feb. 15 Planning Commission meeting, written testimony must be submitted to the Tillamook County Department of Community Development, 1510-B Third St., Tillamook, OR 97141 prior to 4 p.m. on Feb. 6 to be included in the Planning Commission packet mailed to members the week prior to the hearing. Comments can also be emailed to Community Development Director Sarah Absher at sabsher@co.tillamook.or.us or Barrett Chaix at bchaix@co.tillamook.or.us. The most recent version of the Pacific City-Woods Community Plan and the proposed zone changes can be viewed at co.tillamook.or.us/gov/ComDev/.

As well, there are three printed copies of the plan available at South Tillamook County Library, 6200 Camp St., Pacific City, available for public use.

TILLAMOOK COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS opened a $100,000 grant cycle Jan. 10, which is funded by the Tillamook County Transient Lodging Tax. Applicants should conduct tourism-related activities or services in Tillamook County.

Kiawanda Community Center’s new Faye Jensen Hall, above, was financed by a grant in a previous cycle.

Tillamook Co. offering $100,000 in grants for tourism-related facilities projects The Tillamook County Board of Commissioners opened a $100,000 grant cycle on Jan. 10, under the Tourism-Related Facilities Grant Program, which is funded by the Tillamook County Transient Lodging Tax. The maximum grant award for each project will be $15,000 and applications are due March 9.

Eligible applicants include any city, county or other local government (including a port, special district, or intergovernmental agency), federal and state agencies that conduct tourism-related activities or services in Tillamook County, and non-governmental agencies. There is no match required though some matching funds are encouraged, and all grants will be on a reimbursement basis only.

To date, the BOC has awarded a total of $1.9 million in Tourism Related Facilities Grant funds to 34 projects throughout the county. Since those awards, the BOC adopted the Tillamook County TLT Policy for Tourism-Related Facilities. This policy outlines the process for allocating county tourismrelated facilities TLT monies to strategic investment projects and the new grant program. In addition, this policy guides the BOC in its decision making and describes the duties of the Tillamook County Tourism Advisory Committee.

From November 2016 through May 2017, the Futures Council, at the request of the BOC, conducted a series of three community listening meetings that were held in four county locations for a total of 12 town hall meetings.

The series served as the first step in the county-wide strategic planning process by gathering information from

the public about potential TLT capital investments. A key takeaway was the community’s desire for a strategic plan to take a holistic approach with an eye on identity preservation and resource balancing. Based on this valuable input, the BOC, with support of the TAC, continues to focus on developing the county-wide strategic plan to identify potential large projects for tourismrelated facilities TLT funding.

In the interim, the BOC says they recognize that there are smaller tourism-related facilities projects throughout the community that are worthy of TLT funding through the grant program. Although this grant cycle is smaller than prior cycles, the BOC says they are confident that the community will rise to the challenge and be creative in using the grant funds as seed money to leverage partnerships.

All applications will be rated and ranked based on various criteria, including the degree of positive economic impact, degree of visitor experience impact, operations and maintenance sustainability, extent of collaboration and community support, and project readiness. TAC members will review and score each application and then submit their findings to the BOC, which will make the final decision as to which projects will be awarded and the amount of funding per project.

The grant application and instructions will be available at www. co.tillamook.or.us/gov/Bocc/TLTFacilities.htm. The deadline is Friday, March 9, at 4 p.m. For more information, contact Susan Corbisiero, Tillamook County executive assistant, at scorbisi@ co.tillamook.or.us or 503-842-3431.

Recalling the Past, Looking To the Future Pelican Brewing Co. imagines beer cuisine of the Past, Present and Future with 3 Brewers’ Dinners in 2018

Pelican Brewing Company will savor the fresh bounty of Oregon with three seasonal Brewers’ Dinners that imagine beer cuisine and pairings of Oregon’s Past, Present and Future. Each Brewers’ Dinner will feature a six-course gourmet meal paired with award-winning Pelican beer, and are $75 per person. Guests must be at least 21 years old to attend.

The first event, January Brewers’ Dinner, Past, (now sold out) will imagine the cuisine of early Oregon settlers and native fare on the Oregon Coast. Pelican research and development chef, Dan Micolino, was inspired to tell the story of Oregon’s rich culinary history and relationship to the land and bounty of the sea. With sights set on eco-friendly and sustainable fresh foods, Micolino considers the past: what were the practices of our forefathers, who lived off the land? What did they eat, and why? And how was it prepared?

While the first Brewers’ Dinner on Jan. 20 sold out online in record time, Pelican invites guests to mark their calendars to participate in its next unique dinner events, Present, on April 21 and Future, Oct. 20.
