SCRATCHPAD Share your festival photos By ALYSSA EVANS COAST WEEKEND EDITOR Despite many annual events being postponed until 2022, a handful of the North Coast’s festivals and events are returning this year. Events so far have been held either vir- tually or with social distancing guide- lines — or a hybrid of the two. For now, it looks like this will be the norm for at least a few more months. The Crab, Seafood & Wine Festival please send an email by April 12 to aev- ans@dailyastorian.com including your name and town of residence. If you remember which festival year your pho- tos are from or have a short story about the photos, please feel free to share those. Please do not send in more than three photos. Don Anderson Vendors sell their wares at the Crab, Seafood & Wine Festival. RS STAFF AND CONTRIBUTO ON THE COVER COAST WEEKEND EDITOR THURSDAY APRIL 1 A historical photo of U.S. Highway 101. is scheduled to happen from April 23 to April 25. Unlike previous years, the festi- val will be primarily virtual. Participants, vendors and performers will use an online platform to connect with one another through phone calls, video calls and other methods. Some aspects of the festival will be held in person under reduced capacity. The April 22 edition of Coast Weekend will include information about this year’s festival. As a way to honor the festival’s history and impact on the area, Coast Weekend will feature a photo collection of readers’ crab fest photos.
