Bridge Lighting
What a wonderful question my ears heard last week, “How can I donate towards the Bridge Lighting Fund?” This community never ceases to amaze me with our kind generosity – incredible! Well I’ll tell you, there is a fund in place just for that specific beauty of Gold Beach. Please make your checks payable to: Curry County-FBO Bridge Lighting Fund (the FBO stands for ’For Benefit Of’) and mail your generous donations to Curry County, 94235 Moore Street, Suite #122, Gold Beach, OR 97444. This fund was established over 5 years ago and has been designated specifically for the purpose of the Patterson Bridge Lighting, funds deposited and withdrawn for this sole project and its direct costs. Thank you for keeping our coveted bridge shining bright.

Travel Shows
: The travel show circuit Gold Beach participates in has come and gone with great enthusiasm from folks attending the shows and visiting our booth. Typically Gold Beach presents itself at the three Oregon Sportsman shows (Eugene, Roseburg & Medford) and this year Gold Beach made a special appearance at the Bay Area Travel & Adventure Show in California, one of our top markets as per Google Analytics regarding the Visitor Center website. Folks were interested and excited to learn more about Gold Beach, so much so in fact, the Visitor Center website encountered its record hits during and immediately after attending the Bay Area Travel & Adventure Show. And what were the questions from those attending these shows? Are there hiking trails? Is it a destination for cyclists? How is the weather? Are there oceanfront hotels and vacation rentals? What events do you have throughout the year? What kind of wildlife do you have? What is your surf perch fishing like? Where can we hunt for glass floats? How's the fishing in Gold Beach? Are there guides who will teach you how to fish? Which hotel would you recommend? Are there any brochures, pictures of the hotels? Can I buy a glass float? What do agates look like? When do the [jet] boats start up? How much does it cost? Are there RV parks? How's the real estate market? Can you fish off the banks, when does spring salmon fishing start? What is there to do there? This last question would blow folks away for the long list we would say to them… there’s fishing, clamming, whale watching, crabbing, hiking, hunting, kayaking, beach combing, wildlife viewing, shopping, cycling, glass float hunting, geo-caching, storm watching, community theater, museums and lots of events year around. The Gold Beach Travel Show Team had the opportunity to meet and talk with thousands of potential visitors and we were thrilled to share with the travel show attendees how absolutely amazing our little part of the world is, that really got them pumped up to consider Gold Beach as their next travel destination. Yes! These are the visitors we will be welcoming and sharing our beautiful and wild nature in 2013.
