Depoe Bay Salmon Bake Anchors Weekend Festivities
As someone working with three events in one weekend this Friday, Saturday
and Sunday in Depoe Bay, Jaci McKim is a busy person.
First up is the new
Cheezeburger & Pirate Dice Classic Car Crooz-In on Friday. The next day is
the 51st Annual Salmon Bake. And to wrap it up there's the second annual Sunday
in the Park Wine & Music Festival.

Mayor Apologizes For Actions (Newport News-Times)
Newport Mayor Bill Bain made a public apology Monday night for shredding a public document and making “erroneous statements” about it, but Councilor Patricia Patrick is demanding the council...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
McKim admits her work on the last
one is just organizational; "I designed the posters, I did a lot of the
advertising. Can I just sleep then?" But on Saturday she's the volunteer
coordinator, "which means I get to do everything I can't find a volunteer for,"
she says. And on Friday, she's coordinating the first-time event. Not that she's
waiting that long to kick things into gear.
"I just chased down a guy in
1950 Chevy Sedan," she said. Trying to convince the driver and his wife to bring
the car to the Crooz-In, she laughs and says, "I chased him to the ground and he
said, 'I have to work on my bulldozer that night.'
"I pointed to his wife
said, 'Give her the keys.'"
For decades, the Saturday Salmon Bake has
been the largest happening on Depoe Bay's fall event calendar. Attracted by
2,500 pounds of salmon slow-roasted in an 85-foot-long fire pit, thousands of
people have been drawn to Depoe Bay City Park by the efforts of hundreds of
volunteers.
It got even busier last year when community leaders added
Sunday in the Park, which started as a wine and cheese party and ended as a jam
session with all kinds of local musicians. This year's cheeseburger feed and car
cruise should make it even crazier.
Which was exactly the
idea.
"For many years now, the chamber of commerce has endeavored to find
a way to utilize this huge tent that they pitch for something more than just
Salmon Bake," said McKim, a co-owner of Aloha Taxi. "Last year, they held the
first ever Sunday in the Park, and .... this year (the Depoe Bay Chamber of
Commerce) asked us if we would like to host an event on Friday night so that the
tent gets one more day of utilization, one more bang for the buck."
That
was six weeks ago. Since then, they've mailed out 135 invitations to car clubs
in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Nevada and Northern California. As a first-year
event competing with similar car-related events in Coos Bay and Tillamook,
"We're the ones that show up at the dance after everyone's coupled up," she
said. "We're crossing our fingers and watching the dreaded weather reports and
hoping for the best."
Ever optimistic, McKim thinks the Crooz-In will
take care of itself the same way Sunday in the Park did last year. Although 2005
was the first year for the event, people filled the park with music, with some
even running home to grab their instruments. With the Rushings organizing the
tunes this year, she's excited to call it the Second Annual Sunday in the Park,
and figures they'll be doing the same with the Crooz-In next
year.
Sitting in a coffee shop with just a few dozen hours to go before
the weekend kicks off, McKim said the packed weekend should give people a reason
to come - and stay - in Depoe Bay. Even better, she thinks they'll love what
they see and come back for all the things the town has to offer every weekend.
McKim, however, is pretty sure someone else can handle that.
"I only have
to worry about these three events on this weekend, right?"
