A little upcoming event round up for Halfmoon Bay this week, summer is in full swing!
The annual Sunshine Coast Pottery Prowl is happening this weekend from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. In Halfmoon Bay, we have two local potters opening their studios for the event.
Don’t miss your chance to visit Marilyn Downey Pottery (8068 Southwood Road). Marilyn will have her backyard studio filled with unique pieces open to visitors. She can be reached at [email protected] or by phone at 604-740-6330.
A block away at Huckleberry Studios (8098 Dogwood Drive) Naomi Brand, a local potter inspired by the ocean waves, the seaweed and our beautiful local forests, is participating as well. Naomi can often be found at the Sechelt Artisans Market and can be reached on Instagram @huckleberrystudio or by calling 604-740-6248.
Next weekend the Halfmoon Bay Fire Department is hosting their annual Tin Man Challenge, and this year we are opening it to the public. This exciting event is taking place at Hall One (8971 Redrooffs Rd) on July 12 starting at noon. Feel free to come watch your local first responders take part in our annual fitness test as we race to get the best times. Obstacles will include a dummy drag, hose handling, forcible entry and more. We are also allowing the public a chance to don some gear and give it a go! If you are thinking of joining, or just always wondered what it would be like, come try it out. This is also a great opportunity to talk to Chief Raymond about recruitment. We will have our grills going with hot dogs for purchase, it will be fun for the whole family.
We are only a week away now from the 57th Halfmoon Bay Country Fair happening Sunday, July 13. The HBCA is needing volunteers to help support this cherished community tradition. Please reach out to Tim Dayton of HBCA at [email protected] if you can lend a hand.
Please feel free to contact me at [email protected] if you have any upcoming events to be featured or want to connect about all things happening in Halfmoon Bay. Kyla Trethewey, columnist and Halfmoon Bay Firefighter #36.
