at Kiggins
True crime enthusiasts and history buffs will collide at Cooper Con, an exploration of all things related to the mysterious disappearance of the man known as D.B. Cooper, who hijacked Northwest Orient Flight 305 the day before Thanksgiving 1971 and parachuted out with a bag of cash. Participants in this special 50th anniversary event will hear experts on the case, see a real Cooper $20 bill from the ransom money found, a parachute and other historical items similar to the ones Cooper used, meet authors who have researched and written about the case, and more. Cooper Con will take place at Kiggins Theatre in Downtown Vancouver on November 20-21, 2021, 10 am-4 pm. Admission for both days is $20 (no single day passes). Go to kigginstheatre.com to purchase tickets.

Hollingsworth Academy Grand Opening Welcomes Namesake as Guest
Evergreen Public Schools opened several brand new school buildings this school year, and one of them is named for a very special Pacific Northwest child advocate. Dorothy Hollingsworth started her career in the 1940s and served over the decades as a child advocate, social worker, director of Seattle Public Schools’ Head Start program, and local and state school board member until her retirement in 1993. As a woman of color, Hollingsworth made it her special mission to empower children of color themselves. Hollingsworth Academy will replace 49th Street Academy as an alternative-learning program now housed at the district’s brand new campus at Ninth St. and 134th Ave., near Firstenburg Community Center and Leroy Haagen Memorial Park. The campus is now also home to Legacy High School and a Transitional Program for students age 18-21, in addition to district offices. Hollingsworth herself, now 100 years old, was in attendance with her family at the August 2021 grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony of the academy now bearing her name.
