IT'S TIME TO STRUT YOUR MUTT! Join us for a tail-wagging good time at the Second Annual Dog Days of Summer! The City of Coos Bay Parks Adopt-A-Park Pilot Program (AAPPP) invites the community to the Second Annual Dog Days of Summer at John Topits Park – Middle Empire Lake (off Hull Street) on Saturday, August 16. This year’s event is proudly co-sponsored by The South Coast Shopper and promises fun for both people and pups! Activities include: •Guided Park Walks to explore the beautiful trails. •The Dog Strut, featuring fantastic prizes that will make tails wag—thanks to The South Coast Shopper and other generous sponsors—for Best Costume, Paw-sitively Polite, and Judges’ Choice. All dogs participating in the Dog Strut must be on a leash (6 feet or shorter) and under owner control at all times to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all. Event Purpose & Partnerships The event raises funds for replacing park trail markers by “adopters” in the AAPPP. August is both National Dog Month and Clear the Shelter Month, and we’re proud to again partner with Friends of Coos County Animals (FOCCAS) to collect donations—cash or supplies—to help pets find their forever homes. We’ll also be promoting the use of compostable dog waste bags, reducing microplastics in our watershed, and encouraging proper disposal of pet waste in Coos Bay parks. Event Schedule •9:00 AM – Volunteer check-in. (To volunteer, email: [email protected] for details.) •9:30 AM – Public check-in for The Dog Strut and Paw-some Park Walks. •11:00 AM – Final adopter sign-ups for trail markers; Dog Strut judging begins. •12:00 PM – Event concludes. Remember to practice Leave No Trace principles by packing out what you pack in and disposing of waste properly. The City of Coos Bay’s parks, recreation, and cultural facilities provide vital leisure spaces for residents and visitors, preserving the area’s natural, scenic, cultural, and historic treasures for future generations.

MAYOR'S MESSAGE There’s nothing like strolling through the Farmers Market on a nice Wednesday in Downtown Coos Bay meeting local farmers, picking up fresh fruits and veggies, shopping for local art, and enjoying the sights, smells, and tastes of our community. Every basket of produce supports local families and brings us closer to the people who grow our food. In 2000 the Coos Bay Downtown Association (CBDA) Farmers Market started and has grown to be the largest Farmers Market on the Southern Oregon Coast. The Wednesday market is the hub of our coastal communities May through October. This week is National Farmers Market Week, and we are proud to celebrate the CBDA Farmers Market. The annual celebration of National Farmers Market Week highlights the important role farmers markets play in supporting local farmers, connecting communities with fresh, healthy food and strengthening local economies. I encourage everyone to experience the Wednesday CBDA Farmers Market. Don’t be shy to talk to the farmers, I have found that they love to share their knowledge and passion of growing food. Look for a new food you have never tried before, let children pick out their favorites and enjoy all the extras like freshly cut flowers, fresh baked bread/desserts, handmade goods and music. Each and every purchase supports small farms and local businesses, keeping our community vibrant and sustainable. Hope to see you there next Wednesday! -Joe Benetti, Mayor of Coos Bay
