This week’s top 5 1

TOLEDO — The Victorian England that inspired Charles Dickens was not without its downsides — being a child chimney sweep was frankly no fun at all, despite what Dick Van Dyke would later have to say on the matter. But when it came to Christmas, the Victorians knew what they were doing, with roasted chestnuts, lavishly trimmed trees and a cornucopia of festive dishes — almost all of which found some inventive use for goose fat. Add to that a cold climate, which offered plenty of opportunities to bundle up for a stroll while listening to rosy-cheeked carol singers, and voilá — the image of the perfect Christmas was born. That picture-postcard image will greet visitors to Toledo’s Main Street on Saturday, Dec. 6, as the town’s Dickens Christmas returns for a second year. See page 15

2

NEWPORT — And while we are on the subject of bundling up; grab a hat, your biggest coat and three scarves before making your way to Newport, where the Lighted Boat Parade comes of age in its 21st year. Boats of all sizes will make their way around the bay, bedecked with lights and vying for the attention of judges by breaking out all their fanciest maneuvers. Bring mittens if you like but be warned — they do make it a little tricky to hold a hot cup of cocoa. See page 22

3

TILLAMOOK — Handel’s “The Messiah” is a tough piece of music to sit through. Don’t take our word for it. Ask King George II who, the story goes, was so enraptured by the Hallelujah chorus at the oratorio’s 1743 London premiere, that he got to his feet — obliging the rest of the audience to follow suit. That story is probably made up; but one thing is for sure, the Midway Chorus & Orchestra’s biennial performance of this masterpiece is fit for a king. See page 17

4

NEWPORT — Santa gets around at this time of year, but nowhere is his dedication to reaching every kid on Earth more apparent than at the Oregon Coast Aquarium’s Sea of Lights celebration, where he dons a wetsuit and SCUBA gear for an appearance inside one of the tanks. Meanwhile, throughout the aquarium, more than half a million colorful lights set the scene for holiday memories that will last a lifetime. See page 11

LINCOLN CITY — Ties are optional but blue suede shoes are a must for the 16th annual Song of the Angels Holiday Ball at Chinook Winds Casino Resort. With live entertainment from performers including the World’s Ultimate Elvis as well as the annual auction of exquisitely decorated trees, this Angels Anonymous fund-raising feast is not to be missed.

If you fancy a stroll in a winter wonderland without having to worry about mud, puddles and the ever-present risk of a sideways hailstorm, Chinook Winds Casino Resort is the place to be as it hosts the 16th annual Song of the Angels Holiday Ball on Saturday, Dec. 6. Presented by the North Lincoln County charity Angels Anonymous, the ball gives guests a chance to admire 23 trees, each sponsored and painstakingly decorated by local businesses and individuals; and each available to take home. In recent years, tree themes have included Betty Boop, firemen, Harry Potter, chocolates, peacocks, roses, ballerinas, fishing, oldfashioned Christmas and hand-carved ornaments as well as many trees splendidly trimmed in specific colors. The public is invited to view the trees free of charge from 10 am to 8 pm on Thursday and Friday, Dec. 4 and 5; and from 10 am to 3 pm on Saturday, Dec. 6. On the evening of Saturday, Dec. 6, the trees will be auctioned off at the Song of the Angels Ball — an elegant gala event featuring hors d’oeuvres, dinner, live entertainment and dancing. Dinner music will be provided by Keller Coker and his orchestra. Coker, a professor of music at Western Oregon University, has composed and conducted shows for Allen Toussaint, Martha Reeves and Lynn Anderson, to name a few. After dinner, prepare to get all shook up by Justin Shandor, the World’s Ultimate Elvis, who has been featured on David Letterman and is endorsed by

Graceland. The ball will run from 5 pm until midnight at the casino convention center, 1777 NW 44th Street. Tickets, $75 apiece, can be purchased at the Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce located at 4039 NW Logan Road. For details, call 541-994-3070. Angels Anonymous provides immediate and basic assistance to those in need in the greater North Lincoln County area, giving an anonymous and one-time-only helping hand to people who have exhausted every other option.

Even in a hall ďŹ lled with just about every type of gift imaginable, it can be tricky to get a whole year’s holiday shopping done in just two days. So this year, the Yachats Ladies Club is pleased to announce their 87th Annual Christmas Bazaar will open early, giving people the chance to shop from Friday, Dec. 5, all the way through to Sunday, Dec. 7. The Yachats Ladies Clubhouse will be decked out in cheery holiday ďŹ nery for the event, which will feature a huge variety of items — all handmade by club members. Oerings will include everything from hats, scarves and sweaters to jewelry, journals, ornaments, quilts and more. A wonderful selection of delightful edible goodies will be sold as well. A huge selection of the club’s famous, themed Gifts-On-TheGo Baskets will be available, featuring ideal gifts for adults and children. This year, there will be some very exclusive gift baskets with various collectible items in them. Visitors can also spread some Christmas cheer by buying a Gifts-On-The-Go Basket for the women and children residing at My Sisters’ Place, Lincoln County’s domestic abuse shelter.

one man’s beach C O M M E N TA R Y • B Y M A T T L O V E

How to build a driftwood Christmas tree on the beach

F

irst, before you can build a driftwood Christmas tree, you have to have locate a magnanimous Christmas spirit and obliterate the Grinch, Scrooge and Black Friday within. It’s in there, somewhere, deep, entombed. In order to achieve obliteration, use the psychic dynamite of caring for perfect strangers, human or otherwise. For example, walk into any tire center and purchase a new set of tires for someone, say a single mom or grandfather, who desperately needs them to keep a job or family together but doesn’t have enough cash and zero credit. You’ll see these people at virtually every tire center on the Oregon Coast during the winter, on

the verge of falling apart at the counter, and they need your help, quiet and inconspicuous help. No chest thumping or high fiving. Offer this humble aid, practice some humility, and you will surely dynamite the holiday cynicism out of your heart. The explosion will feel really good so keep doing whatever it is that touched off the dynamite. The next step is to actually visit the beach during the hectic holiday season and set aside consumer capitalism for an hour. Try it. The effort might provide the best tranquil hour you’ll spend in December and won’t cost you a cent, because of course, this is Oregon, and previous generations bestowed upon us the holy gift of free public

beaches and guaranteed access to them. Mention this gift in prayer if that is your sort of thing and you don’t mind mentioning politicians from both parties as part of your prayer. Do not bring tools, ornaments, candy canes, or hierarchies. Bring yourself, a partner, dogs, friends or family. Perhaps you will need a libation, such as beer in cans or a thermos of Captain Picard’s favorite tea, Earl Grey. If you smoke, bring your leaves of choice. The times they have a changed. Bob Dylan even put out a Christmas album. Third, you must find a beach with an assortment of driftwood. That’s pretty simple. Gather three spars, preferably ones with notches or forks at one end so you can interlock the spars and raise them into a secure tripod. This should take about 10 minutes, about half the time it takes to pay for something you don’t need at a big box retailer. Once you’ve hoisted and anchored your driftwood Christmas tree, you are ready to decorate it with anything at your disposal at the beach. Rope and kelp make superb garland. Seaweed doubles as groovy tinsel. Limpets and hairy tritons dangle nicely in the breeze. Feathers or beaver sticks can work for a star. You might even be lucky enough to discover a Japanese bottle cap for panache. Erecting a cairn out front lends a druidic aura, too. There’s more to the season than just Christmas. Awaken your long-dormant creative mind and use everything around you to delight a passerby. Once they stumble across your handiwork, they will behold your anonymous Christmas spirit (always the best kind) and no doubt gift that spirit into the tiny dark corners of the local world where light especially needs to shine. Perhaps these people won’t even know they are shining light. And all that sublime goodwill toward men and women and animals and watersheds because you went to the beach before Christmas and got your hands dirty in the sand. Matt Love is the author/editor of 12 books about Oregon, including “Of Walking In Rain,” his account of one of the rainiest winters in Oregon history. They are available at coastal bookstores and through www. nestuccaspitpress.com.

The Friday, Dec. 12, gala event and silent auction will be held from 5:30 to 8 pm. Wine service will begin at 6 pm, with wines donated by Shafer Vineyard Cellars of Forest Grove. The first section of the silent auction will close at 6:30 pm, allowing lots of time for visitors to see the variety of trees and other decorations for auction. “This year the proceeds from the silent auction will go toward replacing antiquated storage facilities in our attic,� said museum Director Gary Albright. “It may not sound as glamorous as a bird watching station at Kilchis Point (last year’s project), but we take artifact preservation very seriously. It is important to be able to store items such as Pioneer portraits and paintings in a stable, archival environment.� Anyone wishing to contribute to this year’s project should contact the museum for details. Levels of sponsorship over $100 include tickets to the gala event. Gala tickets are available at the Pioneer Museum during regular business hours, 10 am to 4 pm, Tuesday through Sunday. Tickets are $25 in advance or $30 at the door and include two glasses of wine and heavy hors d’ oeuvres supplied by the Pacific Restaurant.

Ready for some light entertainment? The Oregon Coast Aquarium will kick off its annual Sea of Lights event with a special deal on admission each night this weekend. Visitors will find themselves surrounded by more than half a million colorful lights and holiday decorations as they explore the aquarium after hours. Santa will also be present to pose for photos and note visitors’ Christmas wishes — even making an appearance in SCUBA gear. From 6:30 to 9:30 pm on Friday Dec. 5, to Sunday, Dec. 7, guests can get in to the Sea of Lights for just $2, plus a donation of two cans of nonperishable food for the local food bank or pet food for the local animal shelter. Entry is $8 per person without donation.

Admission is free for aquarium members, but they are encouraged to bring an item to donate. Sea of Lights will continue to illuminate the aquarium every following Saturday and Sunday throughout December from 5 to 8 pm. Admission is $8, or free with same day paid admission ticket stub or hand stamp. “Sea of Lights lets the Aquarium give back to the community, but we also organize it for the sheer fun of it,” said organizer Michele Steen. “There is no other place to go see a big light display on the central Oregon coast.” This year’s Sea of Lights is sponsored by Walmart, which is offering free admission voucher to customers that spend more than $100 at the Newport store on certain days. See store for details. Attendees using a voucher are encouraged, but not required, to make a food donation. The Oregon Coast Aquarium is located at 2820 S.E. Ferry Slip Road. For more information, go to aquarium.org or call 541-867-3474.

A

sking for more didn’t work too well for Oliver Twist; but it turned out to be a great idea for fans of the Toledo Dickens Christmas, which returns bigger than ever on Saturday, Dec. 6. The event, which transforms Toledo’s Main Street into a scene worthy of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol,” will see businesses throw open their doors, offering festive refreshments and activities while groups of roving carolers spread good cheer. Guests are encouraged to dress in Victorian garb for the celebration, which centers around the lighting of the giant community Christmas tree at the foot of Main Street. Wayne Plourde, one of the event organizers, said this year’s celebration bookends the treelighting ceremony with a Main Street procession and the Fezziwig Ball, which gives revelers the chance to keep the party going into the evening. Plourde, co-owner of SolaLuna Gallery, said organizers are hoping to build on last year’s inaugural event, which attracted between 500 and a thousand people to the small mill town. “The majority were locals but we were really surprised by the number of people that came from out of town, particularly that many of them were dressed up,” he said. “The event itself really drew them in and they were eager to participate.” Saturday’s event will begin with a holiday marketplace from 10 am to 6 pm at the Floweree Community Center, located near the foot of Main Street at 321 SE Third Street. And at noon, the True Lineage Karate Studio will open the doors to a display of motorized model trains making their way through a winter wonderland. Plourde said the display, sponsored by the Yaquina Pacific Railroad Museum, was one of the most popular attractions at last year’s event.

From 5 pm onward, guests stepping on to Main Street will be met by the harmonious sound of Christmas carols, courtesy of the all-male Rusty Rovers and the all-female Sweet Adelines, each of which will be roving from door to door as well as performing on the sidewalk for passers by. Toledo Clayworks will be offering people the chance to decorate a holiday keepsake and will also have handcrafted bowls for sale to support the Empty Bowls project to end hunger. Meanwhile, guests at the The Gallery, located at the intersection of Main and Graham, will get the chance to meet Santa and take a snapshot for the family album. People looking for a professional portrait with Saint Nic might want to head to the top of Main Street, where Impressions Pacific will be offering 8x10 prints for $25 apiece from 4 pm onward.

Event schedule 10 am-6 pm: Holiday Marketplace at Floweree Community Center Noon: Model Trains at True Lineage 4 pm: Santa portraits at Impressions Pacific 5:30 pm: Punch and Judy puppet show at Floweree Community Center 6 pm: Tree lighting procession begins at top of Main Street 7 pm: Fezziwig Ball at Toledo Elks Lodge

At 5:30 pm, the Floweree Community Center will host a Victorian–style Punch and Judy puppet show presented by the Oregon Coast Children’s Theatre. Some contests will also be decided on the night, including SolaLuna Gallery’s competition to see who can build the best Graham Cracker house. All sweet creations delivered to the gallery by 5 pm will be in the mix for a grand prize of $100 to be awarded at the tree-lighting ceremony. Artistic souls can also put their hands to work by crafting a paper mache turkey in pursuit of the “Prize Turkey” prize, inspired by the scene at the end of “A Christmas Carol” where Scrooge sends a street urchin in search of the biggest bird in the shop. Turkey crafters should bring their birds to the north end of Main Street at 6 pm, when the ringing of the bells will signal the start of this year’s caroling procession. Judges will pick the biggest bird to lead the procession along Main Street, with guests then gathering around the Christmas tree for the lighting ceremony. Once the lights are lit and all the prizes awarded, the action will shift to the Elks Lodge at 123 SE Alder Street for the Fezziwig Ball, starting at 7 pm. Named for the festive bash thrown by Scrooge’s first boss, Mr Fezziwig, the family friendly celebration offers music, dancing and refreshments.

Vintage trains at True Lineage

The ball will also see judges pick a winner in the mutton chops contest, which is open to all entries — even those held on with elastic or painted with grease pencil. “Men, women, children — anyone can participate,” Plourde said. While some guests go all out with their Victorian costumes, Plourde said it’s easy to look the part with a few basic items and maybe a cravat or shawl thrown in for good measure. “It doesn’t take much to kind of look appropriate, particularly in wintertime,” he said. “An overcoat and top hat or bonnet will make you look the part walking down Main Street.”

Artists throughout Toledo will open their doors this Saturday and Sunday, inviting the public into their galleries and studios for the latest First Weekend art event. Among the works on show is “Beach Monolith,â€? a 12-by16-inch oil painting by Ivan Kelly, a signature member of the American Society of Marine Artists. The work is a depiction of one of the many mysterious wonders of nature; how the ever-changing light, mist and moisture in the atmosphere reects constant changes — peaceful one moment and dramatic the next.

in concert

Chamber series opens The Oregon Coast Chamber Orchestra will open its 14th season on Friday, Dec. 5, with a concert of light classical, dance and operatic compositions. Conducted by Robin DeVour and John Monks, the program will begin with Finnish composer Armus Jarnefelt’s “Praeludium,” followed by a perennial favorite, the “Allegretto” from Ludwig van Beethoven’s 7th Symphony. The first half will conclude with a spirited folk-inspired “Dance of the Druids” from the Celtic Fringe Suite by Julian Smyth, the tranquil “En Bateau” from Claude DeBussy’s Petit Suite and Charles Woodhouse’s folkish Eastern Dance. The second half of the program begins with a rousing march-like theme from the 1955 film “Dambusters” by Eric Coates; followed

by equally cinematic selections from Sigmund Romberg’s “Desert Song.” The concert will conclude with the sultry “Beguine Royale” by George Pollen; the graceful waltz “Rote Rosen” from “The Man with Three Wives” by Franz Lehar and Bahn Frei; and an energetic polka by Eduard Strauss. The show will begin at 7 pm at the Yachats Community Presbyterian Church, 360 W. 7th Street. Admission is $10 for adults and free for children and students. Tickets are available at Umpqua Bank in Reedsport, Mari’s Books in Yachats, Newport Performing Arts Center and the Oregon Pacific Bank in Florence as well as at the door. For more information, go to occorchestra. org or call 541-997-3727.

John Craigie

Folk for the festive If the run-up to the holidays has you overwhelmed, the Lincoln City Cultural Center has the remedy — funny folk singer John Craigie, who will take to the stage at 7 pm on Saturday, Dec. 6. For the past decade, Craigie has “lived the life romantic” of a continuously touring folk singer, taking his distinctive musical style across the United States and the world. A singer, songwriter and storyteller, he accompanies himself on guitar and harmonica as he spins timeless melodies, interspersed with witty storytelling. Craigie’s themes range from social commentary to personal empowerment, political satire and modern love. His most recent studio album, “The Apocalypse is Over,” features cheeky songs like “I Wrote Mr. Tambourine Man,” and “Free Drinks for Everyone.” Craigie will be joined on stage by local performer Tom

Owczarzak, also known as “Tom O,” a guitarist and modern roots singer-songwriter whose musical journey begins in the wellspring of the blues but ranges far and broadly from there. Performing with dexterity, energy and passion, he presents a range of musical relationships with humor and emotion. Tom O. has played the guitar since the late ’60s, being of the last generation of teenage working musicians before “disco killed the live band.” In recent years, he has worked to bring the joy of creating music to the young people of Oregon through the Americana Project. This concert is part of the center’s Weekender Concert Series, sponsored by the City of Lincoln City and designed to combine beach getaways with a Saturday night live music experience. Lodging packages, complete with ocean views and concert tickets, are available

at the Sea Horse Oceanfront Lodging and Ocean Terrace Condominiums. The series will continue on Saturdays through the winter, with French chanteuse Siri Vik in “La Vie En Rose” on Jan. 31; the country swing of Slipshod on Feb. 21; and the Celtic thumps of The Stomptowners on March 7. On April 11, the series will feature classical guitarist Hiroya; and on May 30, the all-female bluegrass band The Misty Mamas. Tickets for the Dec. 6 show are $14 in advance, available online at the cultural center website, lincolncityculturalcenter.org, or by calling 541-994-9994. Kids 12 and under will be admitted free. A selection of Northwest beers and wines; My Petite Sweet cookies and bars; and Mountain Man savory snacks will be sold before the show and during intermission.

Get a Handel on Christmas The Midway Chorus & Orchestra will give the first of two performances of Handel’s “The Messiah” on Sunday, Dec. 7, in Tillamook. The group will take to the stage at Tillamook Church of the Nazarene at 3 pm to perform the famous Christmas portion of the work, widely regarded as Handel’s masterpiece. The event continues a tradition that has run for more than 30 years on the Central Oregon Coast, with a core group of musicians and singers performing the work every even-numbered year. Adam Schwend directs this year, with Brenna Sage as pianist. Musicians and soloists taking part include Bob Herman, Jim Friesen, Mary

Derwing, Nancy McCall, Carol Rohlfing, Jean Ford, Beryl Clark, Margaret Page, Maggie Mick and Anita DeHaan. The group’s second performance will take place at 3 pm on Sunday, Dec. 14, at the Salishan Long House in Gleneden Beach. Due to limited parking at Salishan, shuttles will run from the Pro Shop parking lot, starting at 1:30 pm. There is no admission charge for either performance, but an offering will be collected. For more information, call Carol Rohlfing 541-994-8531 or Rev. Ron Watson 541-9923575.

Family shines in Spotlight Show Coastal soapmaker extraordinaire Jill Keck is the star of the latest Spotlight Show at Newport’s Yaquina Art Association Gallery, which is also displaying work by her two daughters, Elise and Camille. Keck said the show includes a wide variety of artistic mediums. “Choosing one medium to create with is like choosing a favorite color,” she said. “ I’ll have a little photography, acrylics, watercolor and yes, soap. Everything will be based on something near and dear to me.” Keck moved to the coast in 2010 from Arizona. Originally, she is from West Virginia and has also lived in Pennsylvania and Florida. “I am a part of each of my states and I have enjoyed the

journey,” she said. Keck said she has been interested in art ever since she was a little girl following along to drawing shows on PBS after preschool. And her daughters seem to have inherited that love of creative expression. “My favorite part of drawing is you can do whatever you want.” Elise

said. “There are no rules for drawing. It all comes from your imagination,” “I like to cheer up people with pictures,” Camille added. “ I like to draw stuff because I want to be an artist when I grow up.” The show will run through Friday, Dec. 12, available to view from 11 am to 4 pm at 789 NW Beach Drive.

Newport throws a pin-up party Artists of all ages from throughout Lincoln County are invited to submit their work for display in the 24th annual Pushpin Show at the Newport Visual Arts Center. The show, hosted by the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts, will be on display in the center’s Runyan Gallery and will open with a public reception from 5 to 7 pm on Saturday, Dec. 6, featuring music by Sonidos del Mexico Antiguo. The show is open to all Lincoln County residents, including beginners, emerging visual artists, established professionals, craftspeople, poets and literary artists, hobbyists, youngsters, oldsters, college students, retirees and families. The original Pushpin Show was the brainchild of local artist and art activist Jimmy Frankfort. And while it has grown over the years, the show still

adheres to the principle of being an inclusive, all-county residents’ show that exemplifies Oregon Coast Council for the Arts’ mission to celebrate, promote and develop community arts. To enter the show, residents should bring artwork and writing to the Runyan Gallery at the VAC between 11 am and 4 pm on Friday, Dec. 5, or Saturday, Dec. 6. Volunteers will be ready to help people enter the show. The gallery will close promptly at 4 pm on Saturday to allow time to set up the opening reception, which starts at 5 pm. All artwork submitted must be original — no prints or facsimiles; and should be suitable for family audiuences. Each artist should hang their own work, using just four or fewer push pins. Artwork may be for sale and OCCA encourages people to put a price on their work. OCCA retains a 35-percent commission if artists are OCCA members and a 40-percent commission for those who are not members. The Pushpin Show will run through Jan. 4, on display from 11 am to 5 pm, Tuesday through Sunday at 777 NW Beach Drive. Visitors will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite piece, with the People’s Choice winner and runners up being announced at a gallery opening reception on Jan. 9.

Rigging up a lights display Newport’s Lighted Boat Parade has a-mast quite a following By Gretchen Ammerman For the TODAY

O

n an average top-10 list of great things about the Christmas season, twinkly lights are bound to get a pretty high rating. They probably rank right below the piles of loot and the tree, which, let’s face it, is just another place to hang twinkly lights. While some of the fancier strands have bulbs that blink on and off, Christmas lights can normally be relied on to stay put. But, on Saturday, Dec. 6, there will be an abundance of them on the move, festooning private and commercial boats for two laps around Newport’s Yaquina Bay. The Lighted Boat Parade, now entering its third decade, is the kickoff event for the Pacific Communities Hospital’s Festival of Trees fund-raiser. To keep things interesting, both events share an annual theme; this year’s is Season of Gratitude. “We leave it open for interpretation,” said Yaquina Bay Yacht Club member Stephanie Brown. “But part of the judging is whether or not the boat went with the theme. Last year the theme was The Magic of

Santa makes some last-minute preparations before casting off

the Music. The boat that won chose the song “Smoke on the Water” and they had pyrotechnics; projected flames on the sails; and fog machines. They were really outstanding. Another boat had a live band aboard; it was fun. A different year the theme was White Christmas, and one of the boats had a snow blower that was blowing chipped ice around; that was really cool too.” We have to agree that a blizzard of ice chips does sound very cool. The best view of the boats is of course from aboard a boat, but you don’t have to own one to take part. Marine Discovery Tours sells tickets for rides during the parade, which includes

hot chocolate and cookies. “The best part is that you are right in the mix of everything,” Brown said. “The year when the ice was flying, the people on the boats were right there in the middle of it; it definitely makes it more fun. And the boats are warm and cozy, especially when you have a cup a cocoa in your hands.” If the thought of a boat trip doesn’t float your boat, there are lots of great places on shore to get a twinkle in your eye, and a meal at the same time. “It’s a great time to get a reservation at your favorite spot,” Brown said. “Saffron Salmon fills up every year, and Port Dock One has a great view because they are a little bit elevated. Local Ocean’s upstairs is open this year; that’s going to be one of the best views. And the Embarcadero of course; the boats come into the break wall so you’re right there in front of the boats. And there are good views all along the piers if the weather is right. The Abbey Street Pier is a very popular spot; it’s fun to get some hot chocolate and watch from there.” The boats complete two laps around the bay, so there is ample time to catch the display. “I have a lot of people say they miss the parade because they don’t get off work until after five,” Brown said “But because they go around twice, there is still plenty to see after six.” There are also shopping opportunities since a lot of the businesses will stay open later the day of the parade. “People can stick around after the parade and walk down the bayfront,” Brown said “that’s of course also weather dependent.” To book a place aboard one of the lighted boats, call Marine Discovery Tours at 541-265-6200

Best seats in the (light) house This year, fans of the Lighted Boat Parade can watch the show while helping raise funds for the preservation and restoration of Newport’s two lighthouses. Friends of Yaquina Lighthouses is hosting a viewing party at Mo’s Annex on the bayfront from 5 to 8 pm. The event offers dinner and a front-row seat for $20 a head, which includes one ticket for a raffle with prizes including a tablet computer. For tickets, call 541-574-3129.
