Make up for lost time

Halloween is back with a vengeance on the Oregon Coast

The Kiawanda Community Center and Pacific City Dorymen’s Association will present the second annual Trick or Treat the Dory Fleet this Saturday, Oct. 29. This event is like a trunk-or-treat with a Pacific City twist: dory boats.

“I’m looking forward to another year of ghoulish captains handing out candy from haunted dory boats” said co-organizer and community center board member Whitney Rilette. 

Last year’s event brought more than a hundred kids to Pacific City’s Kiawanda Community Center for a fun family evening. The dories that participated were decorated as pirate ships, Viking long ships, alien ships, vampire lairs and an eagle’s nest.

“These spooky boats and their crews didn’t scare our local kids one bit!” said co-organizer and Dorymen’s Association board member Arica Sears. “In rural communities it’s not easy to find a place to take your kids trick or treating so we were thrilled to have our local butterflies, spidermen, witches and superheroes safely running around our beloved dories.”

The event will run from 5 to 8 pm at the Kiawanda Community Center, 34600 Cape Kiwanda Drive.
