Keep an eye out for the two-part mini-series for television, with the Hallmark Channel "Shark Swarm." A group of about 70 people from Southern California descended upon the Mendocino Coast, and filmed here for about 2 months beginning in mid June. They even asked for help spreading the word for help in finding some extras. How exciting it is to see local areas on TV. Make sure you check it out!
