The Metales M5 theatrical show Vuelta de Fuego is a delightful blend of great music, outstanding musicianship, effortless virtuosity, humor, and a winning rapport with the audience. Whether playing Bach, Bernstein, Humperdinck, or Piozzolla, this concert by Mexico’s foremost brass quintet is fun, surprising and unexpected! One reviewer stated the “M5 is the best thing to come out of Mexico since tequila!”
Come watch the Superbowl with D&R Theatre. This is a family friendly event. Concessions, ice cream, coffee and drinks will be available at the event. Best dressed male and female 12s will win costume competition. The crowd will be the judge. Ask anyone who was there last year, not a better place to see this event!
The event starts at noon with the chance to tailgate in the beautiful decorated event center (for $12) and includes a meal ticket and music. At 3:00 p.m. we’ll head on over to the theater and get ready for the big game. If we can fill the theater with 1,200 12s we have been promised TV time on regional news broadcasts.

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.
Author Bill Lindstrom will speak to the Grays Harbor Genealogy group at Hoquiam Library about his new book John Tornow; Villain or Victim? He will also sell and sign his new book.

Rather than charge guests a cover charge, the winery is offering free live music the third Friday of every month and encouraging dancers to leave a donation for this organization.
Tiffany Maki and Evan Mehlhoff are well-known Harbor musicians who will be returning to the winery for an encore performance.
