The Lower Nehalem Community Trust is proud to announce the official protection of 19.6 acres of forested tidal wetland habitat on the north edge of Nehalem Bay!

The project fulfills a vision first imagined more than twenty years ago, when LNCT launched the Protect the Edge campaign to safeguard and connect vital habitat from Alder Creek to Nehalem Bay State Park. These edge lands nurture wildlife, buffer neighboring communities from winter storms, filter water entering the bay, and provide access to connect with nature.

On Tuesday, October 28th from 3pm – 5pm we will gather at Alder Creek Farm to celebrate. Light refreshments will be served, followed by a short program and optional walking tour to the property (roughly a half mile walk on damp natural and gravel surfaces, or van shuttle available). We recommend water resistant footwear. All are welcome!

Liberace and Liza – A Tribute coming to NCRD Nov 1st 7:00 p.m. New York City, San Francisco, and now they can add Nehalem to their resume! Several NCRD patrons have exclaimed excitedly when they heard of this show – “Best show we have ever seen!” The SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE called it: “Surreal- yet oddly perfect!”. Ok, it is a little unusual, since Liberace and Liza Minelli never actually performed together. BUT- this show imagines what it might have been like! It combines tribute, improv, virtuosic piano playing, powerhouse vocals, and comedy. Like Liberace, David Saffert is a classically trained pianist from Wisconsin. Working sans sequins he has performed with the Oregon Symphony, Oregon Ballet Theatre, Portland Opera, Oregon Shakespeare Festival, and the Schnitzer. He also appeared in two tv episodes filmed at the Liberace Mansion in Las Vegas. Jillian Snow, from NYC, is a powerful vocalist and sketch comedian who has cracked up crowds at the Laugh Factory, Gotham Comedy Club, 54 Below, Feinstein’s at the Nikko, and Portland Center Stage. Jillian was also involved in the U.S. premiere of “Liza, Liza, Liza’ and co-writing “Troll 2 The Musical” with her Emmy award-winning sister Jade.
Reserved seating $30, general admission $25. www.tickettomato.com/event/9671. PG-13.

Pete the Cat is one cool dude as he strolls around in his new white shoes. Preschoolers
and their parents and caregivers can find out more about Pete the Cat’s adventures when
attending North Oregon Coast Symphony’s FREE Musical Storytime October 20 at the
Manzanita Library at 10:30. Musical Storytime is a hands-on musical activity for preschoolers.
This free outreach program is for children ages 2-5. This month’s story is Pete the Cat, I
Love My White Shoes and will be accompanied by flute player, Shelley Loring. Pete the Cat is
silly, fun, and has brightly colored illustrations. Pete loves his bright white sneakers so much that
he sings about them wherever he goes. Children will love singing along to this story. Loring will
talk more about her flute after the story is read and demonstrate the various sounds she can
produce. Then different wind instruments will be handed out for the children to play.
Similar events are being planned monthly in partnership between North Oregon Coast
Symphony, North Tillamook Library, Seaside Library, and Astoria Library. For more
information, visit the symphony’s website at www.nocsymphony.org., or seasidelibrary.org, or
catalog.tillabook.org/Events/Calendar, or www.astoria.gov/dept/Library.

Saturday, OCT 18th 7:00 p.m. ComedySportz of Portland takes the NCRD Performing Arts Center stage. If you like to laugh – if you like hilarious improv comedy- if you are ready to overcome the deadly inertia of couch potato syndrome – come on over to NCRD and have a great evening of comedy! There will be 8 improv comedians on stage in two teams, acting out audience suggestions, and competing for your votes for which team was the funniest. A referee calls fouls and ensures it is all kept family friendly! ComedySportz has been doing this in Portland for many, many years. They were on our stage back in 2019, and they had the audience laughing till it hurt. Reserved seating (there are still some left) only $25, and general admission is $20. www.tickettomato.com/event/9648 A huge thank you to our primary event sponsor Manzanita Beach Getaway for providing lodging for the group. But wait, there’s more! On Sunday, the 19th, ComedySportz will provide a free (courtesy of NCRD) IMPROV CLASS at 1:00 p.m. Learn how to do improv from the masters!
