Dory Days in Pacific City

Have to admit, before we got to Pacific City I didn’t know much about what a dory was. Over the course of the two weeks we were there though, we learned a LOT! About the history of the boats, the areas dependence on the use of them for fishing off the coast and the culture that surrounds them. The Dory Days weekend was everything a small town boasts about. Community, pride in their history and just plain fun. Parade, pancake breakfast and fish fry, sand dune races and cider on the patio of Pelican Brewing. It was a great way to meet the town.

Just what is a Dory?
