Spend a fun-filled day in Ocean Shores. Watch over 60 floats and entries honoring Old Glory in one of the only Flag Day Parades in Western Washington.
This year’s grand marshal is to be announced. Participating in the parade will be floats and marching bands from Ocean Shores and neighboring communities. Each year as a lead in to the parade, ACT sponsors a essay, poster and coloring contest for the children of the North Beach School District. Children in pre-school and kindergarten participate in a flag coloring contest with prizes awarded to each age group.
Children in grades 1–9 may participate in the poster contest, these will be judged and first, second and third place winner for boys and girls will be selected. High school students take part in an optional essay contest, this years theme is “What the Flag Means To Me,” the essays are judged and and a First and Second Place Boys and Girls winner is selected.
The winning students receive a check, a trip to Olympia, observation of the senate in session a meeting with the Lieutenant Governor and a special lunch. Each year over 150 students compete, the winning students will ride on the ACT float during the parade and the essay will be published in the local observer newspaper.

Northwest Spay and Neuter Center, Washington’s largest non-profit high-quality spay and neuter clinic, now offers free transportation for your pet to and from our state-of-the-art clinic in Tacoma! No residency restrictions, and financial assistance may be available.
How does it work? Our dedicated employees collect scheduled patients (cats and dogs) at a prearranged location. Patients are driven to our clinic in a safe, climate-controlled vehicle for surgery. They recover overnight and are returned to the same location the following morning. We accept pet cats and dogs and feral cats in traps on our shuttle!

Everyone is welcome to attend this monthly event. Visit the Aberdeen Timberland Library’s website here for current reading list information and additional event details.
