EAT THE STREET

It's A Family Affair

Your next salmon dinner can be direct from boat to table. Clint and Allison Benson are a local father-daughter duo who founded the Kenai-Red Fish Company - a Community Supported Fishery (CSF) - 5 years ago. From mid-June to August, Clint fishes the Cook Inlet in Homer, AK and hauls home wild sockeye salmon. Buy shares of the catch, which will be flash frozen and vacuum sealed, and delivered right to your door in September -- probably by Allison. For rates and more info on getting fresh, wild-caught salmon from a local family fisherman, check out their website or contact Allison.

NEW MEMBER SPOTLIGHT

Design Within Reach: Roloff Construction

Nathalie Roloff, is co-owner and design lead of Roloff Construction, which has been in business for 20 years. One of her most requested projects is to add a second floor dormer and transform the space into a master suite. As an avid cook, Nathalie’s favorite projects to work on are kitchens. She admits, “I like the designs of Chip and Joanna Gaines, but the pricing is kind of a joke.” (She didn't mention all that shiplap!) If she were to have a design show it would be called FYF Designs and air exclusively on HBO! You'll have to ask. Find Nathalie in a coffee shop and she'll be sipping tea.

FLOWERS EVERYWHERE

Who Keeps Beaumont Blooming?

This year, we needed four sponsors to cover the installation and maintenance of our colorful flower baskets along Fremont. Here are the businesses that stepped up.

Noho's Hawaiian Cafe has been supporting our community for 9 years. The No Hate Zone, is a non-profit that brings together law enforcement and at-risk youth in NE Portland. Noho's hosts dinners for the Breaking Bread to Break Barriers campaign that invites these two groups together to share a meal and start a conversation. Have dinner on the tropical back patio of Noho's as a way to say thank you for beautifying our street and supporting our community.

Curaleaf, a medically-focus dispensary in Beaumont, has been looking for a way to enhance their community involvement. As many of our events are geared towards children, they were struggling for ways to participate. This was the perfect opportunity for them to show their true colors. Stop in for some cannabis and thank them for the buds. (And look for them at Fremont Fest.)

Morel Ink offered to sponsor our baskets, which was no surprise. They are all-out supporters of the Student Access Act, and they rally behind the Cully Farmer’s Market. Let them print your next job and thank them for the baskets.

Lastly, Andrew Frazier, owner of Frazier Wealth Management and the President of the BBA, puts his money where his mouth is. In this case, it's on our 17 flower baskets. Express your appreciation to Andy by coming to the BBA's Haunted House this Halloween. It's his pet project -- scaring little kids! The next time you step inside one of these generous Beaumont businesses, thank them for Keeping Beaumont Blooming.
