North Beach PAWS, a private, independent, all-volunteer, no-kill animal shelter dedicated to saving the lives of unwanted and homeless dogs and cats, is set to hold a gala dinner auction at the Ocean Shores Convention Center on Saturday, November 4. The event signals the return of North Beach PAWS’ signature fundraiser and will help homeless and abandoned animals as well as support the day-to-day operation of the shelter.
The North Beach PAWS Dinner Auction, featuring an appearance by the Ocean Shores Pirates, will be emceed by Mike Valdez, with Eric Bjella serving as auctioneer. Grays Harbor College Civic Choir Director Kari Hasbrouck will perform live.
“We are very excited about holding our annual Dinner Auction once again! After several years of dealing with COVID and needing to avoid social settings, it is finally possible to gather safely and have this annual Fundraising event for North Beach PAWS,” said Lorna Valdez, president, North Beach PAWS. “We hope you and your family members and friends will join us for an evening of fun and the opportunity to bid on some lovely items in our Silent and Live Auctions and in doing so help support our Shelter. We look forward to seeing you there!”
Numerous local businesses and organizations such as Five Star Dealerships, Seabrook, and the Quinault Nation have donated auction items for the event.
Tickets are $45/each and can be purchased at Jip and Gwenners Pet Boutique, Ocean Sunset Drug, Flying Cats Gift Shoppe, the Dusty Trunk, the Ocean Shores Convention Center box office, and the North Beach PAWS garage sale (Saturdays, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.).

Westport’s famous Ocosta Booster Club Crab Feed is legendary! The 2024 extravaganza is Saturday, March 9 from noon to 6pm. This over-the-top fundraiser began in 1993. All proceeds benefit scholarships and programs for Ocosta School District students from Westport, Grayland, North Cove and Tokeland, Washington.
Westport, arguably Washington’s best beach community, is famous for many things. Yet, this annual event is one of the most popular drawing visitors from around the state to an all-you-can-eat smorgasbord of Dungeness crab, cocktail sauce, spaghetti, garlic bread, and coleslaw. Beer, wine, cocktails, and sodas are sold separately.
Event organizers said, “Our generous fishing families donate over 3000 pounds of fresh local Dungeness Crab.” This level of community support with a cadre of volunteers make this event worth staying the weekend in Unforgettable Grays Harbor County.
All ages are invited to attend this epic dinner at the Ocosta Rec Hall located at 45 Ocosta 6th Street. Although this is an Aberdeen address, the rec hall is located between Westport and Aberdeen, just a few blocks off State Route 105.
Guests ages 13 and up can enjoy this feast for $40, it is $20 for those ages 6 to 12, kids age five and under are free. Tickets are available only at the door. The Booster Club accepts cash and credit cards.
