Don’t forget… YYFAP is the place I want to be!

Bring out the tie-dye and join the YYFAP group in the traditional La De Da parade on July 4th. Meet behind the Yachats Commons at 11:30 AM. No tie-dye or want something new and fresh for the parade? Well- you are just in luck because all ages are invited to a special tie-dye workshop on Friday, July 2nd from 4-6 PM. Learn new tie-dye techniques at YYFAP (in the Yachats Commons basement).  It is only $1 per color and you can bring your own items. You can even make something for your dog for ‘Paws for the La De Da parade.’ We also have items for sale such as shirts ($5), tank-tops ($7), scarves ($7), hats ($7) and even bed sheets ($15). All prices include the cost of color. Call (541) 547-4599, for more information.

Paws for the la-de-da parade

We had a special visit from a Vietnamese potbelly pig, named Petunia during the YYFAP monthly dog social. Petunia and Jason Blanton are “Walk n’ Across America” to encourage people to be more passionate about life and to inspire for better health and wellness. The dogs curiously sniffed Petunia and a few made a new pig friend. YYFAP dog socials are always full of excitement and surprises. For July’s  YYFAP Dog Social join the ‘paw forces’ and march with the Yachats Youth and Family Activities Program in the la-de-da parade on July 4th. All dogs are invited! Meet behind the Yachats Commons at 11:30 AM. Fun and silly dog costumes are encouraged. For more information, e-mail beebui@peak.org or call (541) 547-4599.
