SCRATCHPAD
Make your mark with a great weekend
By NIKKI DAVIDSON
COAST WEEKEND EDITOR
Whether you’re a local or just visit-
ing for a few days, there are many ways to
leave your mark on the North Coast this
weekend.
In Cannon Beach, there’s a unique
opportunity to become part of something
beautiful, even if you are the world’s least
artistically talented human. The Earth and
Ocean Arts Festival will be hosting artist
Daniel Dancer, and his latest Art for the Sky
project.
Dancer creates pieces of art by strategi-
of this issue of Coast Weekend.
Finally, if you simply desire a week-
end of food and drink on the coast, you can
show off your beer lifting talents. North
Jetty Brewing on Washington’s Long Beach
Peninsula will be holding JettyFest, an
Oktoberfest celebration complete with a
stein holding contest.
No matter your talents, there’s plenty to
do on the North Coast this weekend. I hope
you make the most of it!
Daniel Dancer
Artist Daniel Dancer’s Kansas Art for the
Sky project used volunteers to form the
headband on the image of a Native American.
Dancer will be creating the world’s largest sea
star in Cannon Beach this weekend.

chance to read their work onstage next to
Pulitzer Prize winning poet Jericho Brown
in November. You can fi nd tips about what
