Posted on by

On Wednesday, April 27th,  enjoy a great meal  in a cozy atmosphere, while  helping to support local youth activities. Linda Hetzler, proprietor of the Drift Inn Cafe (124 HWY 101 N ) in Yachats, is generously offering all profits from the day’s operation to the Yachats Youth & Family Activities Program. There will be live music performances during lunch and dinner, featuring  talented musicians from among YYFAP’s participants. Musicians this year will be Andrew Thomas, Graham Shields, Tommy Jackson,  Milo Graamans, and Ian & Stacy Smith.

The Drift Inn is a family-friendly restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily. The menu is an eclectic mix of family favorites and original dishes focused on fresh ingredients and  the Pacific Northwest, plus coffee drinks, homemade soups, fresh baked breads, and decadent desserts.

YYFAP has been a Yachats fixture for 16 years, offering a wide range of services to local residents. Program offerings include something for everyone – from Indoor Park for the very youngest, to preschool, parenting  support and education, teen community service groups, after school open recreation, family nights,  multi-generational classes, and volunteer opportunities for elders.
