8 // COASTWEEKEND.COM Recess Food Cart reopens in Tillamook TILLAMOOK — Recess food cart has reopened in a new location just south of the Fred Meyer store at 1910 Main Ave. N. on U.S. Highway 101 in Tilla- mook. The cart is open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The Recess menu features flame-grilled burgers, wraps, salads, hand-cut fries from fresh potatoes and homemade desserts. Every menu item has a playful, recess-themed name and is homemade with many locally-sourced ingredients. Recess has a wide variety of menu choices, including veg- etarian, vegan and gluten-free items. “We’re extremely grateful to reopen — we’ve been getting ready for this new, larger cart and location for months now,” co-owner Brooke Nitzsche said. “We’ve kept all of our custom- er favorites, like our King of the Playground Burger, Four- square Waffle, Miss Mary Mac Macaroni and Cheese and Kick the Can Cobb Salad, and we’ve added some new items to the menu, like the Duck Duck Dog along with gluten-free, vegetari- an and vegan choices.” Co-owner Jen Hilger said, “Recess before and now has always been a labor of love.” She added: “The community not only loved our food when we were open the first time, but re- ally rallied around as we faced the many challenges of reopen- ing here in our new location.” Both Hilger and Nitzsche agree that they couldn’t have done any of it without commu- nity support. “We are tremen- dously grateful.” Recess is available for pri- vate functions, reunions, wed- ding events, graduation parties and has worked with many local companies and organizations.

Only a few Bounty on the Bay seats left GARIBALDI — Calling all anglers: Get out your waders and seafood bib! There are only a few guided seats left with Tillamook Estuaries Partnership’s 15th annual fundraiser, Bounty on the Bay. The funds raised at this event support education, res- toration and conservation activities in Tillamook County’s estuaries and watersheds. Join us for an Italian pasta dinner and fishing tips and tricks workshop presented by David Johnson, Friday, June 8. On Saturday, June 9, the fish- ing tournament begins, and you can still register to fish with one of our guides or as your own captain. Everyone will enjoy a world-class seafood feast, silent auction and award ceremony that highlights the event on Saturday evening. FILE PHOTO A catch from Bounty on the Bay This action-packed fundraiser helps to support the Partnership’s efforts to implement the Tillamook Bay Comprehensive Conserva- tion and Management Plan, which identifies actions that restore water quality, enhance degraded habitats, reduce sedimentation and lessen the impacts of coastal flooding — all of which means more fish, better water quality and improved natural habitat for wildlife and people. Whether you are interested in fishing or just joining us for one (or two) of the dinners, and snagging something wonderful during our silent auction on Saturday, we have something for everyone. Garibaldi House Inn and Suites, the official hotel of Bounty on the Bay, is offering discounted rates for Friday and Saturday night stays if you mention Bounty on the Bay. Registration forms are available at tbnep.org. For more information, contact Valerie Stephan-LeBoeuf at 503-322-2222 or bounty@tbnep. org.
