Summer Solstice Retreat Day this Saturday!

Submitted By: revolutionginger@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Ready or not- summer is here!

The longest day of the year is approaching fast and we are having a retreat day to celebrate.

This Saturday, June 17th from 9am-2pm

The flower gardens are exploding. The river is clear and low. It’s finally warm enough to do a retreat day outside.

If you haven’t had a chance to try out this combination art, wellness & magic- now’s your chance.

Iris Sullivan Daire of Dreambird Studios in Astoria will be leading a solar fabric printing class in the garden. Warning- If you’ve never done sun activated cyanotype art- it’s super addictive.

Adria Badagnani of Art & Channel in Manzanita is leading a Summer Solstice circle and bringing her poetry, gem essence oils and magic to play with.

I’m firing up our wood fired sauna/cold plunge and making tea & snacks.

**Plus you will very likely get a bonus serenade by my new hand pan drum that I’m currently obsessed with:)

I have just a few spots left in this event.

I hope you can give yourself this treat and come play with us for the Solstice!

RIVERBEND PLAYERS COMMUNITY THEATER ANNOUNCES NEWLY ELECTED BOARD OFFICERS

Submitted By: frank@wandascafe.com – Click to email about this post
Riverbend Players congratulate our newly elected board officers on their new positions!

Frank Squillo as President, Julee Ward as VP / Treasurer, Linda Makohon re-elected as board Secretary, and newest board member Juli Stratton elected as the new Artistic Director.

The board would like to thank our outgoing president, Tom Cocklin, for his years of service and dedication to Riverbend Players.

Tom was vital in the inception of Riverbend Players becoming a 503c non-profit nearly 10 years ago and has worked tirelessly in numerous roles over the years to help sustain an organization dedicated to producing theater productions for our coastal community.

With Tom’s retirement from the board, he leaves Riverbend Players in the capable hands of the current members and new board president, Frank Squillo.

Frank said “I am honored to step into this new role as the president of our community theater group. I am committed to building on the theater’s past successes and ensuring that it continues to provide quality entertainment for the community. I also want to continue to make the theater a fun and inclusive place for everyone who wants to be involved. With the help of the current board members, I have no doubt we are ready for the next chapter in Riverbend Players’ future!”

Riverbend Players’ current production of 12 ANGRY JURORS has 3 final shows this weekend. Come see why it’s broken all previous attendance and revenue records for RiverBend Players productions.

JUST 3 MORE PERFORMANCES OF RIVERBEND PLAYERS MOST POPULAR PRODUCTION EVER

Submitted By: frank@wandascafe.com – Click to email about this post
COME SEE WHY ’12 ANGRY JURORS’ HAS SET NEW BOX OFFICE AND ATTENDANCE RECORDS!

3 FINAL SHOWS THIS WEEKEND JUNE 16th – 18th AT THE NCRD PERFORMING ARTS CENTER IN NEHALEM

Tickets and more information at www.RiverbendPlayers.org

12 ANGRY JURORS, based on the award-winning Henry Fonda movie 12 Angry Men:

On a hot summer day after a lengthy trial, a jury must decide whether a 19-year-old man is guilty of murdering his father.

The jury votes 11-1 that the man is guilty of the crime, but the law requires a unanimous vote by all 12 jurors to pass judgment.

Tempers flare as the eleven jurors try to convince the 1 dissenter to come to their side.

However, as the evidence is re-examined, new uncertainties come to light, forcing everyone to honestly question whether there is some measure of “reasonable doubt”.

Our Library Thanks the Community

Submitted By: ntlf1987@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
On behalf of North Tillamook Library Friends — who provide the building and grounds that house our library in Manzanita — I extend heartfelt thanks to everyone in the community who made our annual Memorial Day Book Sale one of our most successful ever! This year’s sale produced just over $7,000 in total revenue, which will enable Library Friends to keep our Library in tiptop shape. Our book sale truly is an annual community effort – from the hundreds of book buyers, of all ages, who came out on Saturday to snap up bargains and make additional donations to Library Friends – to the organizations that
housed the sale — Calvary Bible Church, Hoffman Center for the Arts, and Pine Grove Community House – to the nearly 150 volunteers who worked on sale day and throughout the year preparing for the sale. Overseeing all those volunteers was the volunteer-in-chief, Book Sale Chair, Madeline Olson. The book sale exemplifies the exceptional community spirit in North Tillamook County, and underscores the motto of North Tillamook Library Friends: Building a Community of Learners Since 1987.

With deepest gratitude,
Betsy Chase
President, North Tillamook Library Friends

Be Unreasonable, take a drive

Submitted By: Constance@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
Yes it’s a 2 hour drive. Yes, it would be crazy to do and WOW do you really want to be reasonable? Read the synopsis then get your ticket (s), love to see you at one of the gardens!

villageatthefalls.helpfulvillage.com/pictures/798/download

The garden tour is being hosted by the Village at the Falls and supports a ‘sister’ village to our own Rainy Day Village (Who you going to call’?). This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, don’t miss it !

2023 GARDEN & ART TOUR, synopsis of the gardens

1. This garden features lots of color and trees in a rural area which looks natural with rolling grassy areas, walkways, and many shrubs, as well as various eating areas and water features. If you would like to bring a picnic, a few tables set up, and their daughter will have snacks out to share. – is also an artist and her garden art and mosaics will be for sale, as will those crafted by other local artists. The Oregon City Garden Club will have some plants for sale.

2. This small farm features a barn (with artists inside), a permaculture vegetable garden, and many flowers and trees as well as a beautiful fruit tree in the front which will have tables and chairs for picnickers. Their daughter is a caterer and will be selling charcuterie cups (think meat, cheeses & veggies in a paper cone cup).

3.For pure fantasy you can’t beat B’s garden! Can you even imagine walking through a garden of Bowling Ball Trees, fairy houses, and even a Sasquatch family? This garden is complete with three water features, hostas and ferns, all on one acre. There will be plenty of artists here, too.

4. – – and her partner own one of the historic homes in older Oregon City. From the curbside the entire neighborhood admires her brightly flowered front entrance area, as well as the Heritage Sycamore Tree which dominates the front yard. The back yard has a great arbor and many plantings and shrubs, but what catches your eye are the two CATIOS that they have placed there for their cats to enjoy the back yard with them!

5. In the front stands a huge 120+ year old cedar tree which is lighted day and night now. As you proceed to the back you will see the makings of a basic English garden with with many perennials combined with colorful annuals. A large pergola and interesting fence will give you some ideas on how to take a small area and make it into a great backyard outdoor space to share with neighbors and friends.

6. As we talked with – – about his home being on the Garden Tour we kept looking next door and seeing a brand new garden emerging from bare ground. It was so fascinating to see new plantings every week that we thought there may be people looking for new ideas on how to just “start” their garden and get it looking very nice in less than a year. Be sure to talk with A and R to get some ideas on what might work for you, and maybe even what NOT to do. There will be hot dogs and chips for sale at this garden, as well as artists and crafters doing their thing.

7. At this house you can’t help but think you have walked into a secret rain forest with all of the huge ferns growing right out of sheer basalt rock. R and her husband spent 33 years turning a beautiful but inhospitable pile of boulders into the most beautiful garden imaginable. Artist Ben Dye contributed sculptures and a wonderful fence made of recycled steel. Artist Jean Chapin’s ceramic art populates the garden, and Kate Simmons’ metal mesh piece, “The Ripped Bodice” grace the the back of the house. Mirena Oberg and her whimsical ceramics will be the featured artist at this location, along with Tanith Yates. Parking is limited, so please see shuttle information below.

8. S’s garden overlooks Willamette Falls and is a miracle to behold! She and her husband carved over 30 different garden rooms out of the sides of the cliff that was previously her back yard, carrying dirt and rocks by wheelbarrows up steep paths themselves over the years. Each garden room is uniquely different and this is a garden to see once in your lifetime. Much of the area has steep pathways, so probably not a good choice for those who are physically impaired, although there is much to see in the flatter area near the house. Parking for this garden is limited, so shuttles are provided from the parking lot on the corner of Center and S 2nd Avenue, the old location of the Oregon City Public Works Offices.
