THE HOLIDAY COMEDY HIT OF THE SEASON! ‘A CHRISTMAS STORY’ LIVE ON STAGE!

– THE HOLIDAY COMEDY HIT OF THE SEASON! ‘A CHRISTMAS STORY’ LIVE ON STAGE!
8 SHOWS REMAIN! DEC. 2nd – 17th at the NCRD Performing Arts Center in Nehalem.
Reserved Seating and Showtimes at www.RiverbendPlayers.org
Children 12 and under $10, General $20, Premium $25
A CHRISTMAS STORY: Humorist Jean Shepherd’s memoir of growing up in the Midwest in the late 1930s follows 9-year-old Ralphie Parker in his quest to get a genuine Red Ryder BB gun under the tree for Christmas.
Ralphie pleads his case before his mother, his teacher, and even Santa Claus himself at Higbee’s Department Store. The consistent response: “You’ll shoot your eye out!”
All the elements from the beloved motion picture are here, including the family’s temperamental exploding furnace; Scut Farkas, the school bully; the boys’ experiment with a wet tongue on a cold lamppost; the Little Orphan Annie decoder pin; Ralphie’s father winning a lamp shaped like a woman’s leg in a net stocking; Ralphie’s fantasy scenarios and more.

Gingerbread House Competition

Submitted By: pattyrinehart@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
I am most lonely when it comes to hearing from people about building gingerbread houses for the North County Recreation District’s Winter Event. My face was bright red when I told the Friends of NCRD Committee I have only two entrants…So, help me out here people! OK, let’s open it up to gingerbread cookies too. Just remember we can’t eat them! I know of one business on Laneda who is going to do a replication of their building. If we get more people doing this, we could have whole towns built. Are you listening Nehalem and Wheeler?

OK, the event-NCRD’s Holiday Social, is going to be at NCRD on December 16th, a Saturday, from 11-1. There will be childcare, delicious food, and some information about the new pool being built. And the nice thing is that it is all FREE!

Come and support this community treasure! See below for recipe for gingerbread. For a poster for the event please contact me.

NEW Pendleton Blanket: Raven and the Box of Knowledge

Sale price $250 OBO
NEW IN BOX WITH TAGS

Text only, please include name of blanket
(971) 701-7766
Located in Rockaway Beach

A blanket with a story to tell, based on a work by artist Preston Singletary. The image represents Raven, a shape shifter and trickster. In the story, the old chief who lived at the head of the Nass River kept his precious treasures—the sun, the moon and the stars—in beautifully carved boxes. Raven steals the boxes and makes his escape into the night sky, carrying the sun in his mouth. The sun is a metaphor for enlightenment or knowledge. The ombred background shades meet at the center in vibrant colors of sun and light.

A portion of the proceeds from this blanket will be donated to the American Indian College Fund to help support tribal colleges.

Final honey/syrup etc visit to North T County on 12/12

Submitted By: jwmerc@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Hi folks – Jeff and the JW Merc roadside “pop-up” booth will be back in Wheeler one more time this year – on TUESDAY December 12th from at least noon until 4 pm.
Amongst many ‘gifty’ ideas both large and small – raw honey selections will include raw Star Thistle and Oregon Maple (pints and quarts only). Other NW-local choices include Pumpkin Blossom, Meadowfoam and some Coast Range Blackberry.
Real Vermont Maple Syrup can be in classic “jug” style or for a limited time round-glass jars (pints – $21 and quarts – $32). Organic chocolate sauce will be in tow – along with wholesome bee pollen and Pacific coast-caught Albacore Tuna in three pack sizes (from three separate OR/WA fishing boats)
To insure supply I would recommend pre-ordering (particularly those glass maple syrup jars) – send text directly to Jeff’s phone (208-424-0042, e-mail to jwmerc@gmail.com – or send and instant message thru the JW Merc Facebook page.
See you on TUESDAY DECEMBER 12th in WHEELER!!! JW
