Copious Coastal Curiosities
“Copious Coastal Oddities,” covering a wide variety of beach curiosities from about 180 miles of coastline. It happens December 27, given by coastal expert and author / publisher Andre’ GW Hagestedt. The talk starts at 6 p.m. at Seaside Brewing Co. 851 Broadway St, Seaside, Oregon. (503) 717-5451. Often there are objects hiding in plain sight that host a startling story. From surprising history of the region, weird weather facts, and intriguing natural phenomena to the rather spooky geologic beginnings of the beach. You’ll get a glimpse of the Green Flash at Sunset, sand that glows, sand that sings, what landmarks were once all lava or a volcano, and even what prehistoric Oregon was like. Historical trivia also gets spotlighted, including unique objects found along the Seaside Prom, Hug Point, or on the central coast. Hagestedt is editor and publisher of Oregon Coast Beach Connection, and this year released the first three books of ten, in a series called Ultimate Oregon Coast Travel: Every Beach Access, Odd Facts, Fun Finds. Among the other items discussed: The quirkier side of Pixieland near Lincoln City Beach safety issues not always talked about Kooky stories behind beach town names
