A View From the Beach

Some days it is hard to get started when you have so many things to do. However, I am very lucky that I have my sweet little Rudy sitting under my desk so that I stay at my computer since I don’t want to disturb his rest. Silly though that may sound, but it works for me … and I bet there are others who can identify. That being said, I am happy to tell you about our upcoming 4th of July Pancake Breakfast and my favorite event each year, our Doggie Parade!

Our Avila Beach Civic Association’s annual 4th of July Pancake Breakfast is being held on Tuesday, July 4, from 8:30 to 11 a.m. at the Avila Beach Community Center, 191 San Miguel Street. You can enjoy your breakfast in the community center or at the tables in our Healing Garden with puppy sitters for pet lovers to eat their breakfast prior to the parade. Tickets will be available online and at the door. Our annual Doggie Parade will follow at 11 a.m. on the Avila Beach Promenade and a Boat Parade will begin at 12 p.m. sponsored by the San Luis Yacht Club.

To walk in our Doggie Parade, all dogs must be registered and checked in. All participants will be judged for Best Costume, Best Dog/Owner Look Alike, Best Holiday Theme, Funniest, and Best in Show. Each participant will receive a doggie treat bag from Petco Arroyo Grande and will entertain all who come to watch. Please contact me at (805) 627-1997 or avilabeachcc@gmail.com with any questions and to get involved or check out our website avilabeachcc.com. See you on the 4th!

I want to remind you that the San Luis Obispo County Public Health Department gave us 100 COVID-19 test kits for distribution to members of our community. If you are interested in receiving any of these test kits, please let me know and you can pick them up in our office. Thanks and have a great and safe month.
