If you want to do something that is fun and educational there are a couple of good choices the weekend of June 25, 2011  go to the Clamboree in Coos Bay

The Empire Clamboree has a little bit of everything. Musical acts will perform across the street from Ed Lund Park, surrounded by a variety of vendors. The Oregon Coast Culinary Institute will serve up several dishes featuring local bivalves.

Up the hill, the Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians will host an open house. Down near the Empire boat ramp, the U.S. Coast Guard will offer helicopter demonstrations, while the Betty Kay charter boat takes passengers on cruises to the North Spit and back.

... The Clamboree gives people a chance to explore the waterfront, learn about projects in the works and find out a little bit about the area's history. There are brochures to guide people along both walking and driving tours. There also will be demonstrations on how to clam and games presented by Friends of the South Slough. Alexander Rich
