11th Annual Valentine’s Movie: “When Harry Met Sally” @ 7th Street Theatre
Feb 13 @ 7:30 pm
11th Annual Valentine's Movie: "When Harry Met Sally" @ 7th Street Theatre | Hoquiam | Washington | United States

The 7th Street Theatre’s 11th Annual “Take Your Honey to Hoquiam” Valentine’s event features the 1989 hit romantic comedy, “When Harry Met Sally,” starring Billy Crystal, Meg Ryan and Carrie Fisher.

“Take Your Honey to Hoquiam” is a dinner-and-movie promotion that has grown to include additional sponsors. When you buy dinner for two at any of the participating restaurants and pubs, or make a qualifying purchase at any other sponsor, from February 6 through 14, you will receive two free tickets to the movie. Each participating restaurant and sponsor has 50 free movie tickets available through this promotion.

The annual promotion started in 2005, when the 7th Street Theatre was in its second season of showing films. Volunteer Betsy Seidel suggested the idea that would help the theatre and would also help Hoquiam’s restaurants and flower shop. It has become one of the biggest film weekends of the year at the 86-year-old theater.

The participating restaurants and sponsors this year are: 8th Street Ale House, Al’s Humdinger, The Breakroom Bar and Grill, Casa Mia, Deidra’s Deli at Farmers’ Market, Foggy’s Bar and Grill, Golden Dragon, Grizzly Den, Passport Café, Rose’s Tienda and Taqueria, Sasquatch Pizza and Wings, Simpson Avenue Bar and Grill, Taqueria Franco, Trio’s Bar and Grill, Tully’s, Welcome Inn Bar and Grill and Simply Said Flowers.

“Take Your Honey to Hoquiam” has grown each year, with this year’s list of sponsors highlighting 16 restaurants and one flower shop! Ginger Akers, 7th Street Theatre board member, suggested having a live auction of the two beautiful bouquets donated by the florist. This will take place before the film each night.

“When Harry Met Sally,” written by Nora Ephron and directed by Rob Reiner, takes a comic look at whether men and women can have meaningful friendships without sex becoming involved. The movie is famous for the scene in which a restaurant patron tells a waiter, “I’ll have what she’s having.”

Tickets are available at the door. Advance tickets are available at Harbor Drug, Books on 7th and at www.brownpapertickets.com. For more information call 360-537-7400 or check the website, www.7thstreettheatre.com.

Razor Clam Dig @ Washington State Beaches | Washington | United States

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) approved the upcoming dig, which runs Feb. 15–22, after marine toxin tests showed the clams are safe to eat.

Dan Ayres, WDFW coastal shellfish manager, said the best digging typically occurs one to two hours before low tide. No digging is allowed at any beach before noon.

“We’re expecting a good turnout this upcoming Presidents’ Day weekend,” Ayres said. “Tides will be early enough the first few days that diggers can enjoy some daylight on the beach.”

Under state law, diggers are required to keep the first 15 clams they dig. Each digger’s clams must be kept in a separate container.

Author Talk with Bill Lindstrom @ Lacey Timberland Library
Feb 21 @ 2:30 pm – 4:30 pm
Author Talk with Bill Lindstrom @ Lacey Timberland Library | Lacey | Washington | United States

Veteran newsman Bill Lindstrom has pursued the truth about John Tornow for almost 3 decades. Among the several outcomes of his work is a new book, “John Tornow: Villain or Victim?” Lindstrom will present a slide show and discuss the book, the research and the Tornow legend at two Timberland libraries in February:

This meticulously researched history reads like a blend of mystery and tragedy as it reinterprets the life of an enigmatic man accused of heinous crimes. Lindstrom poured over century-old court documents, transcriptions, contemporary news articles and interviews to produce an authoritative and compassionate account. He brings the Tornow family’s life and times alive, describing the daily routines and personal sorrows that led up to multiple murders, a 19-month manhunt and an enduring Northwest legend.

Books will be available for sale and signing at this event. All programs at Timberland libraries are free and open to the public.

For information, contact the individual library or visit www.TRL.org.
