Our sixth year of hosting a fabulous fireworks display and boat parade on Devils Lake was a terrific success. Thank you all for your support and generous donations. This year was the first time we successfully completed fundraising prior to the event. Thank you, thank you. 

We produced a short video of the days festivities for your enjoyment. Simply click here or on the picture above to view. We're looking forward to our seventh show next year.

Want to get involved?

Through the years, planning our show has been a very informal process. In hopes of growing the event we are forming a new committee to begin planning for next year. We anticipate meeting 3 to 4 times in the next twelve months. If you are interested in becoming part of this team, please send an email to [email protected].

Since it's been two seasons since the last potluck it seemed like a good idea to send you all a little reminder.  The return of Potluck on the Point will be Saturday August 3rd at 6:00pm and be hosted by Mitch and Dana Moore at 2929 NE Loop Drive on Sand Point.

Plan to bring your favorite appetizer, main dish or casserole and join us, with your neighbor and friends for an evening of fun. Be sure to mark your calendar today!

Large Sitka spruce trees growing in the Devil's Lake watershed have been a dominant feature of our region for decades. Recently, the trees look like they are dying as their green needles have suddenly turned brown.

Up and down the North and Central Coasts, spruce trees are turning brown. A tiny green bug, the Spruce Aphid (Elatobium abietinum Wal) is the likely culprit.

According to the US Forest Service, spruce aphids are small (1/16 of an inch), soft-bodied, mostly wingless insects. They are light green when young and turn an olive-green when mature. Winged adults have two pairs of wings, with the front pair being much larger than the hind pair. Like other aphids the spruce aphid has sucking mouth parts which they use to suck the sap from foliage. They feed gregariously and secrete “honeydew” which attracts ants.

The Lincoln City Council recently approved an agreement between ODOT and the City of Lincoln City with an estimated value of $2.6 million. The agreement outlines the creation of a new paved path for bikes and pedestrians along the east side of Highway 101 running from West Devils Lake Road to the Neotsu Post Office.

It has taken five years to fully fund the project primarily from the Oregon Department of Transportation Statewide Transportation Improvement Program. It took additional contributions from the Confederated Tribe of Siletz Indians of $350,000 and $30,000 from a City contingency fund to move the project forward.  

The path will be designed by the City of Lincoln City. The City anticipates that it may take a couple of years to get through the design process, due to the small shoulder that exists along that portion of Hwy 101.

The Oregon Department of Transportation recently announced the end of all night work for the season on the deck of the bridge over D River.  Work continues during the day underneath the bridge.

Last year three bridges on U.S. 101 Oregon Coast Highway began construction for  repairs and the installation of cathodic protection. D River and Schooner Creek Bridges are in Lincoln City. Siltcoos River Bridge is near Dune City, just south of Florence. ​​

Construction began in September 2018  on the D River Bridge and was scheduled to last 16 months. Construction hours were to vary based on the activity. Winter -Spring - Fall. Summer construction hours are 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. beginning June 1 - September 1 there will be no work allowed 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.  There were to be some exceptions with a few nights of paving, announced in advance.

​These bridges have deteriorated from the salt air on the coast and are in need of repair. If nothing is done, the bridges would eventually have to be replaced. They might also need to be load rated, meaning that large vehicles over a certain weight would not be able to travel over them.

Please join us Saturday August 3rd at 6:00 pm for our Ninth Annual Potluck on the Point. We've made it through our remodel and now once again have a patio on which we can Potluck!

We really missed having the potluck last year and we've never been more ready to share some great food and fun with our lakeside neighbors.  The get together will be hosted by Mitch and Dana Moore at 2929 NE Loop Drive on Sand Point.

Plan to bring your favorite appetizer, main dish or casserole and join us, with your neighbor and friends for an evening of fun. Be sure to mark your calendar today!
