Please join us for the Blessing of the Fleet to remember those lost at sea and bless the fleet for a safe and bountiful harvest.
This is a local event to honor our fallen fishermen and also bless our local fishing fleet. The VFW, The Coast Guard, the minsters from the South Beach area, and many other local organizations are involved. We invite the community to attend this celebration and also enjoy complimentary cookies via WEfish. Immediately after the Blessing of the Fleet, WEfish is hosting a clam chowder feed at the Westport Maritime Museum for $5.
The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is the world’s largest and most impactful fundraising event to end cancer. It unites communities across the globe to celebrate people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and take action to finish the fight once and for all. Today, with the support of thousands of volunteers like you, the American Cancer Society is helping save more than 400 lives a day. And we won’t stop until we finish the fight against cancer! Please join us!
Survivors can register on-line prior to the Relay by going to RelayForLifeofGraysHarbor.org, click on “join” and fill out the form. Or they can call 1-800-227-2345 and do it over the phone. This allows them to not stand in line at Relay to register and get their free t-shirt and 2015 survivor medal — they can just go right to the t-shirt line, tell us they are registered, and get them without waiting. We will have special reserved seating at the Start/Finish line for our Survivors, as well as snacks in the Survivor tent prior to the start of Relay.
“The Goonies” is based on a Spielberg short story, and offers his wild action sequences and fast pacing, made memorable by the enthusiastic and energetic performances of the young cast that populates this adventure. It’s a fantastical take on a traditional tale of buried pirate treasure, told with a slice-of-life approach that has these kids using real-life teenage dialogue, something still not heard much in films back in 1985.
The cast includes some young actors who would later grow into sizeable roles: Sean Astin, who later played Samwise Gamgee in the “Lord of the Rings” movie trilogy, Josh Brolin, whose dozens of credits include President George W. Bush in “W,” and Martha Plimpton, who has starred in TV’s “Raising Hope” since 2010. Several familiar characters round out the cast: heavies Robert Davi and Joe Pantoliano, pro footballer John Matuszak and Anne Ramsey, famous for “Throw Mama From the Train.” Most of the film was shot in Astoria, OR, and nearby Cannon Beach.
Doors open at 7:00 p.m. for the 7:30 p.m. show.
Advance tickets are available online at www.brownpapertickets.com and at Harbor Drug in Hoquiam and City Drug in Aberdeen.
