Here in Coastal Douglas County, there are so many events it's hard to keep up. While it may rain more on the Oregon Coast than it does inland, the weather is fine for events and outdoor activities.
Last weekend in Reedsport, the Cat's Meow event was a big success. As a fundraiser for the Coastal Douglas Arts and Business Alliance (CDABA) and Great Afternoons, they had a silent auction of ceramic cats painted by local artists and enthusiasts. Local restaurants donated scrumptious appetizers and a local band played some great dance music.
Also last weekend was the Annual Gardiner STEP dinner in Winchester Bay. Gardiner's Salmon Trout Enhancement Program holds a dinner for their membership where they talk about the accomplishments for prior year and goals for the new year. Due to the efforts of STEP to seed our rivers with salmon and trout, we have more than ample supply of fish. One of the oldest STEP programs in Oregon, they recently held a statewide conference to discuss their techniques with STEP advancements and achievements.
Next weekend (January 27) is the Annual Dinner for the members and our communities. They will discuss accomplishments for 2006, disclose their 2007 roster of board members, present recognition awards, and comedians. Tickets are $25, which covers a wonderful gourmet meal and the entertainment. Reservations for the dinner will be accepted until the end of the day Thursday, January 26th at 5pm.

Tee,
Enjoyed your roundup of various recent events in Reedsport. It sounds like a happenin' place!
If one were to move there, what are buyers' prospects for housing? Any houses with views of the coast? What's the current median price?
Answer at your convenience.

SWA,
Good questions. The housing market in Reedsport is as slow here as it is in many places around the country. That having been said, it is a buyers' market with existing homes for sale as well as three new subdivisions going online.
For a view of the Pacific Ocean, there are homes in Winchester Bay, just four miles south of Reedsport. As of 2004, the median price of a home was around $112,000. Like other places on the Oregon Coast, home prices have jumped significantly since that time.

Good for people to know.
