Fiesta at the Beachcomber!

This past Sunday was our very first Day of the Dead celebration, and it will definitely wont be the last. Our awesome team did a fantastic job with decorations, and setting everything up. We had the Bean dip, chips and salsa, guacamole, and Sangria of coarse! Everything was delicious! Right about 3:30, Pancho Villa came galloping on his horse right on the Coastal Trail. Guests, friends, and locals greeted him there. Pancho Villa gave children rides on his horse, some just hopped on just for the picture. We really enjoyed the celebration! The weather cooperated, which was just great, it wasn't too cold, or too hot, just right! Next year, we cannot wait to put something together again and celebrate our 2ND Day of the Dead!

Noyo River Dog Paddle

People and their pups paddled up Fort Bragg's lazy Noyo River on Sunday Oct 11th as a fund raiser for MCDOG’s Project Groundcover. "Bear and Aften" - the dogs of Liquid Fusion Kayaking hosted the ‘Dog Paddle’ as a benefit for MCDOG’s project to grow groundcover that can stand up to the heavy dog park usage.

A $20 donation per seat was all it took for you and "man's best friend" to enjoy a 30-45 minute Dog Paddle in a tandem sea kayak on the Noyo River. The fun started at the Dolphin Isle Marina, 32399 Basin St, Fort Bragg, just a mile from the Pacific Ocean. People enjoyed lunch early at the Marina's Deli,and enjoyed the company of many dog-loving people, and their four legged friends, before heading out to the river. Even Hairy Putter - Mendocino County's canine ambassador- made his special guest appearance! Can't wait for the next one!
