Come one come all. Seaport Landing, Aberdeen’s new public waterfront and home port for the tall ships Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain, is asking members of the Grays Harbor community to volunteer their time to prepare Lady Washington’s home for her 25th birthday celebration.
The Historical Seaport “Salty Saturday” Project Parties are scheduled from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. every Saturday from now through May in preparation for our ships return on June 5th. Salty Saturday projects are flexible and can accommodate individuals, groups or organizations. Minors over 12 are welcome, but must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Our first Salty Saturday is scheduled for Saturday, March 1.
Inside and outside projects are available. A Seaport Landing staff member will help volunteers find an appropriate project. Volunteers should dress warmly, even for indoor projects. Volunteers interested in helping with gardening and landscaping should bring their own garden tools.

Lynn Kessler, Grays Harbor Community Hospital Foundation chair Natasha Martens, and Quigg Brothers project manager Charlie Quigg at Dancing with Your Stars.
Dancing with Your Stars returns to the Bishop Center, this time sponsored by the Grays Harbor College Foundation as a fundraiser for World Class Scholars. As for last year’s show, the new cast of dazzling dancers from the Harbor will train with professional dancers the week prior to the Saturday evening benefit show.
All proceeds from this benefit show will go the World Class Scholars program. Last year’s Dancing With Your Stars sold out early, and tickets for this show, since it directly benefits the future education of our youth, will go quickly too!
The Driftwood Players will enact “The Glass Menagerie,” written by Tennessee Williams and directed by Debbie Scoones. The drama is in two acts and is appropriate for all ages.
The mother is a faded tragic remnant of Southern gentility, striving to give meaning and direction to her life and the lives of her grown children. Her methods are ineffective and irritating, causing problems in the household. The world of illusion that she has striven to create in order to make life bearable collapses about them after a gentleman caller pays a visit.
Tickets can be purchased in advance online, at the door if available, and at the following locations:
Valu-Drug in Montesano
Top Foods and City Center Drug in Aberdeen
Harbor Drug in Hoquiam
Dolores’ and Fay’s in Ocean Shores
