It's time to outfit the pier with life rings. In the past, vandalism has been the reason why they have not been maintained. The cost is expensive, but used ones are $53.00 dollars. Coat it in pine tar is one idea to discourage theft. ï‚· You can see why with his flourishing business and love of the community is the reason Tim is so important to Cayucos! ï‚· 50/50 drawing ï‚· September 26th is airport day in San Luis Obispo ï‚· This Sunday is the BBQ at the Vets Hall.
