In 2015, Dugan’s Pizza in Ocean Shores will be holding the 30th edition of their Dugan’s Pizza Fun Run, making it one of the longest lasting races in all of Grays Harbor. Starting across the street from Dugan’s Pizza, the 5k and 10k are half on the road and half on the sandy shores of the Pacific Ocean. The course is incredibly flat, with the run along the beach always popular no matter the weather. This is a great family-friendly running event, with a youth mile and kids dash all part of the day’s festivities. Celebrate 30 years of running by heading to Dugan’s Pizza for the annual fun run, you will have a blast!
MoGenealogist Roxanne Lowe will speak about how to safely store and preserve photographs, papers and other memories to last for generations to come.

Join us during this four-day cleanup as we help the 20 River Campers in cleaning up the area while a private benefactor negotiates with the City of Aberdeen for a temporary camp. We are half finished! But it is difficult to find people available during the week to help us because most every one is working. Please pass the word on about this – we can use as many people as we can get. Also supplies like water, trash bags, working gloves.

It’s hard to pick a starting point with the movie magic that unfolds in “Across the Universe,” the next big-screen offering at the historic 7th Street Theatre.
The 2007 movie uses 32 songs from The Beatles, woven together to tell a love story set against the turbulent backdrop of the ‘60s sociocultural revolution and the Vietnam War. It offers a sometimes kaleidoscopic, whirlwind remembrance of many iconic aspects of the era, viewed through a theatrical lens that can be at times funny, sad, whimsical, gritty, exhilarating, and even epic.
The rich and wildly imaginative visuals throughout the film come via director Julie Taymor, who won a pair of Broadway’s Tony Awards in 1998 for directing and costuming the smash hit stage musical version of Disney’s “The Lion King.”
Evan Rachel Wood and Jim Sturgess head an appealing young cast, and the film is studded with cameos including Joe Cocker and Bono. All of the actors do their own singing and, following extensive studio rehearsals, most of the songs were performed live on the various film sets.
Doors open at 7:00 p.m. for the 7:30 p.m. showings. Tickets will be available at the door. Advance tickets are available at Harbor Drug in Hoquiam, City Drug in Aberdeen and at online at brownpapertickets.com.
Free film series highlighting popular music genres from the 20th century. Bring your lunch. This session covers Country and Bluegrass music and features the film “High Lonesome: The Story of Bluegrass Music.” Refreshments provided by the Friends of the McCleary Library.

What better way to celebrate the return of hundreds of thousands of shorebirds than by lacing up your shoes and running through the streets of Hoquiam. With a race shirt and a goodie bag for those who pre-register, this race welcomes both runners and walkers who enjoy getting out and running as thousands of migrating shorebirds and hawks fly overhead. Mostly flat and weaving through the city and near Bowman Field, those who participate in this run will not only get fresh air and a great experience, but will also have a deeper connection with the city and with the Grays Harbor Shorebird Festival. Fun for all ages, this run shouldn’t be missed.
