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.
