The 7^th Street Theatre’s 13th Annual “Take Your Honey to Hoquiam” Valentine’s event features the 1987 romantic comedy, “Moonstruck,” with Academy Award winning performances by Cher and Olympia Dukakis. It plays Friday and Saturday, February 17 and 18, at 7:30 p.m. on Grays Harbor’s biggest movie screen, in downtown Hoquiam’s historic, atmospheric theatre.

“Take Your Honey to Hoquiam” is a dinner-and-movie promotion that also includes two local florists. When you buy dinner for two at any of the participating restaurants and pubs, or make a qualifying floral purchase, between Saturday, February 11 and Saturday February 18, you will receive two free tickets to the movie. Each participating restaurant and sponsor has 50 free movie tickets available through this promotion.

The participating restaurants and sponsors are: 8^th Street Ale House, Al’s Humdinger , Cappy Rick’s Black Pearl Tavern, Casa Mia, Deidra’s Deli and Farmers’ Market, Foggy’s Bar and Grill, Golden Dragon, Grizzly Den, Rose’s Taqueria, Simply Said Flowers, Simpson Avenue Bar and Grill, and The Jitter House.

The Oscar-winning screenplay of “Moonstruck” follows the comedic complications of Cher’s 30-something Italian-American Brooklyn widow, who is reluctantly falling in love with the wild and crazy brother (Nicholas Cage) of her dull but safe fiancé.  In the role of the mother of Cher’s character, Dukakis earned an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, after more than a quarter-century on stage and screen.

Doors open at 7:00 pm for the 7:30 pm showings.

Listen to selections from oral histories gathered by Harbor area students come to life through readings and narrator panels. Through these voices we will explore what draws us to this place, what helps us persevere during times of struggle, and what cultivates our sense of belonging to the area known as “The Harbor.

Presented by The Evergreen State College faculty member Stephen Buxbaum, “Voices from the Harbor” is possible because of a grant from Humanities Washington to The Evergreen State College Foundation.

What gives us a sense of place and belonging on the Harbor? Participate in a community mapping project to tell your story of what makes the Harbor…home. To participate, visit here to add to our online map or pick up a mapping kit at the Hoquiam Library beginning on Saturday, April 15.

We will compile community contributions from the mapping activity into a self-guided tour. The link to the tour will be available online or pick up a paper copy at the Hoquiam Library.

Join us for a reception at the Polson Museum on April 29 at 2:30 p.m. to discuss insights and perspectives sparked by the activity and learn about other historic walking tours in the area.

Origins. Remnants. Renaissance. Peel back the layers of meaning of places and spaces of special significance to the Harbor region’s identity along a self-guided tour. Then, join us for a reception at the Polson Museum with local historians and discussions of insights and perspectives sparked by the tour. Tour guides and information will be available on April 29 beginning at 10:00 a.m. at the Hoquiam Library.

Voices from the Harbor is an event series produced with funding from Humanities Washington. Layers of Meaning: Experiencing the Built Environment is the second event in a three part series.

COASST Marine Debris participants survey local beaches and collect data on the characteristics and location of debris – data that will ultimately be used to map the source and transport pathways of debris, as well as the potential harm to people, wildlife, and local coastal ecosystems. Volunteers need NO prior experience, just a commitment to survey a specific beach (about ¾ mile) each month.

If you are interested in participating, join COASST staff for the training session. There is no charge to attend the training, but plan to provide a $20 refundable deposit if you would like to take home a COASST volunteer kit. Training activities take place indoors. Beach surveys are best conducted in groups of 2 or more – please come with a survey partner in mind or plan to join a team during training.

STEM is not just for kids! Explore Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math with a variety of tech toys. Play with Ozobots, build a LEGO® MINDSTORMS® robot, and learn some basic coding. We’ll supply the toys, but bring your smartphone to try out Virtual Reality with Google Cardboard!

Engage in conversation and problem-solving around contemporary issues relating to housing and homelessness in the Harbor region. Attendees will hear from a panel, engage in small group discussion, and leave with personal action steps they can take to strengthen their community.

Voices from the Harbor is an event series produced with funding from Humanities Washington. What Makes Communities Work is the third event in the three-part series.

Bill Brookreson, chair of the South Sound Chapter of the Washington Native Plants Society will begin the day with a talk at the Grays Harbor Community College where we will learn the ins and outs of our unique coastal ecosystems. Then we will head out into one of CRBLT’s most beautiful properties to shine a new light on the flora of our PNW coastal lowlands. Prepare for a short drive (carpooling is encouraged!) from the Grays Harbor College to our 175-acre surge plains to enjoy a beautiful nature walk. Be sure to bring rain gear, boots, or sunscreen as needed for a walk in unpredictable weather!
