We are kicking 2017 off with a spectacular event featuring Syncline Winery and Guest Chefs from The Willow Restaurant in Portland. The Willow was voted the Best New Restaurant by Willamette Week’s reader poll in 2016. Chefs John Pickett and Doug Weiler, owners of Willow, will be pairing 5 courses with wines picked by Syncline winemaker and General Manager, James & Poppi Mantone who will be presenting the wines and information about their winery at the dinner. You don’t want to miss this incredible opportunity to come on a culinary journey with us, all at our little Town Hall!
We will spend the evening identifying ways to connect with the people in your life, whether it be parents at your kids’ school, your co-workers, and even your own family. It’s so hard to figure out why we unintentionally push away the very peple we love the most. We love our kids but we hurt their feelings. We love our spouse but we hurt them too. Find tools to help you be a better you which will in turn make your life happier, healthier, and more productive.

Listen to selections from oral histories gathered by Harbor area students come to life through readings and narrator panels. Through these voices we will explore what draws us to this place, what helps us persevere during times of struggle, and what cultivates our sense of belonging to the area known as “The Harbor.”
Voices from the Harbor is an event series produced with funding from Humanities Washington. This is the first in a series of three events.
The public is invited to join local historians and students from the Evergreen State College as they share selections from oral histories collected by and from Harbor residents. Participants will learn about the craft of composing oral histories as they listen to stories about the Harbor Region from the perspective of local residents.
Giving Voice to Experience is the first of three events planned for the Voices of the Harbor project – produced through a collaboration between the Evergreen State College and Window Seat Media; with support from Humanities Washington.
“The Iron Giant” is one of those rare animated features that offers plenty of fun and action to keep the kids entertained, wrapped around engaging characters and a story with a strong message.
Made in 1999, and based on a story by the British poet laureate Ted Hughes, the film takes place at the height of the Cold War and Sputnik-inspired anxieties and is loaded with period references to alarm over the Soviet threat and grade-B sci-fi and monster movies of the era.
The “iron giant” is a robot that drops from the sky and frightens a small town, setting off an overly zealous government agent. With the unlikely friendship of a lonely boy, the robot learns about humans and ultimately the duo helps the townspeople overcome their prejudices and fears.
Advance tickets are available at Harbor Drug and Crown Drug in Hoquiam, City Drug in Aberdeen and at the website, www.7thstreettheatre.com.
Historian Lorraine McConaghy will begin the program with an illustrated introduction to the war’s themes. Following that, guests may participate in a scripted “Readers’ Theater,” designed to portray the turmoil of the years 1914 – 1919. The script is drawn from first-person sources such as letters, diaries and news paper stories. It allows modern readers to speak aloud the words of a past generation, and gain an sense of how Washingtonians of that era experienced the great social, economic and political changes: industrialization, immigration, women’s rights, radical labor, epidemic disease, and worldwide turmoil.
