The announcement thousands in North Tillamook County had been waiting for — the BBQ is back!
After a four-day downtime, the BBQ is back online. According to Chuck and Barbara McLaughlin, “We apologize for any inconvenience caused but, we assure, we did everything possible to get things moving again. Thank you for your patience and understanding.”
The daily summary resumed on Sunday the 30th at 6 pm with a page-long list of posts, including events, announcements, and variety of items for sale, etc.
Welcome back, BBQ! And thanks to Chuck and Barbra McLaughlin for their tireless attention to this important local communication tool.
Here is more information about the BBQ – how to access, post, etc.
