Grayland Open @ Grayland | Grayland | Washington | United States

This is an awesome event that you don’t want to miss. All are welcome free of charge to come enjoy some serious aerial action at the beach. Some of the top riders in the world will be in Grayland throwing down some amazing aerial maneuvers. Back flips, barrel rolls, precision surf riding and moto surf racing are just some of what you can expect to see all weekend.

There will be food to feast on. Music will be playing and if you buy a few raffle tickets, you might just get some goodies to take home with you. We will have custom designed event t-shirts and sweatshirts as well as posters available at the main booth while supplies last. Bring your family a lawn chair and a camera and enjoy some free entertainment at the beach.

We ask everyone to respect the beach. All rules governed by the State Parks Dept. are still in effect during the event. Please pack it out if you pack it in. Help us to minimize the impact on the Grayland beach. Avoid soft beach areas with your vehicles as a tow can be very costly. Please park clear of the ribboned off area and leave room for cars to get through.

Valentine’s Photos with Sadie Mae @ Off the Walls Gallery
Feb 12 @ 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Valentine's Photos with Sadie Mae @ Off the Walls Gallery | Shelton | Washington | United States

Two inventive businesses, and a very large dog, are hosting fundraisers for the Adopt-A-Pet dog shelter.

Off the Walls Gallery and Sadie Mae Hawkins have teamed up to create a crazy Valentine’s weekend event. Shop owner, Shelly Barnett, is setting up a Valentine-themed photo shoot area in her eclectic art store. Bring your own camera or cell phone and our volunteer photographers will take shots of you and Sadie Mae together. Participation is by donation of cash or bags of dog food.

Who is Sadie Mae Hawkins? Just the most famous dog in Shelton! A gigantic working Cane Corso service dog that just wants to spread love and happiness! Visit her Fan Club Facebook page and come to the gallery for a dog hug and photo.

When you are done there, head around the corner to Smoking Mo’s for their Pints for Pups program and some delicious food. Rent a 24-ounce beer mug for $5 and Mo’s will pass that $5 on to Adopt-A-Pet. Plus, you get an extra 8 ounces of beer with your normal pint purchase – so you get to drink like a Pirate for a good cause. And don’t miss their Tap Takeover with Lagunitas on Feb 24th with a dog food drive. Bring a bag of your favorite dog food and Mo’s will make sure it’s put to good use at Adopt-A-Pet. Smoking Mo’s is at 203 W Railroad Avenue.

Adopt-a-Pet is your local, non-profit dog shelter. In 2015, the team found loving homes for over 300 unwanted, abandoned and abused dogs. If you are interested in volunteering or donating, please visit their website at www.adoptapet-wa.org.
