Week Folk

Hello friends of South Coast Folk Society!

We are just days away from January 1, the beginning of Country Dance and Song Society's (CDSS) centennial celebration! As our umbrella organization turns 100 in 2015, we are excited to be part of that celebration. During South Coast Folk Week, Oct 4-10, 2015, Coos County will be a stop on the CDSS centennial tour.  

As we plan and prepare for the arrival of legendary dance caller Bob Dalsemer and the talented members of the band Firefly, the steering committee wants to keep you informed about Folk Week activities, and encourage your participation. If you aren't familiar with this project, read the attached overview or visit the SCFS website http://southcoastfolksociety.wordpress.com/cdss-tour/ or Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/southcoastfolkweek.

We need SO much help with this ambitious project! Can we count on you?   

1. HOUSING We are looking for home stays for our visitors. Do you have an extra bedroom(s) and the gift of hospitality? 

2. FOOD We'll feed the staff three meals/day for a week. We'll have some community potlucks. Many of you are avid gardeners. As you plan this year's garden, consider growing a row for Folk Week! Consider hosting our group of musicians for one dinner while they're in town providing this service to our community. Are you a catcher of fish? Fish BBQ at your place one night for the staff? Do you own a restaurant and want to be a business sponsor by donating a meal for a staff? 

We've thought of several ways you can help with food - maybe you can think of others. Lynn Danner is our hospitality coordinator - to volunteer help with housing or food, contact Lynn davidlynndanner at gmail dot com. 

3. GET THE WORD OUT We have a group of speakers ready to attend a meeting of your club or organization to talk about South Coast Folk Week. Need a speaker? Contact Stacy rosecontra@gmail.com 

4. MONEY We're accepting donations! The steering committee decided that in an effort to keep activities affordable for families and youth, Folk Week activities will be admission by donation. Still, we'll have expenses for venue rentals, sound equipment, sound technician, printing, etc.,etc. If all of our folk friends saved their loose change for the next 6 months, that would accumulate into a significant donation! Or just write us a check. 

5. VOLUNTEER Will you be around the week of October 4? Can we call on you to help, whether it's sweeping a floor before the dance, helping to pack sack lunches for the staff one day, posting flyers around town? Reply to this email and let the steering committee know we can count on you. Flood us with your support! Overwhelm us with community support for this project! 

The next phone conference with our staff will be in January, so I'm hoping our next update will include a schedule of activities for Folk Week. The steering committee for South Coast Folk Week wishes you a very happy new year, with as much dance, music and song as you can hold!

Cheers!    

Stacy Rose, for South Coast Folk Week

He knows if You've been Bad or Good

Hope you get more than lumps of coal in your stockings. No, you cannot have a Playboy Bunny in her stockings. Just think of what the Long Sufferin would say.

So gather round the ole yule log and sip a cup of eggnog and eat the fatted cod fish and have a very wonderful holiday

Happy Holiday from the South Coast Trawler

You know that eggnog was originally an egg custard drink mixed with ale? So have a Bud and a Nog and get wild and crazy.

Stop and Paint the Roses

Dear Watercolor Artists,

 

Add this to your calendar for March 2015 and sign up quickly.  What a fantastic opportunity to learn from one of the best.

IN MORE DETAIL

Coos Art Museum welcomes award-winning artist Sharon Wise for an intensive 3-day “Realism in Watercolor” Workshop Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, March 9, 10 and 11, 2015 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.  A master at capturing light, Sharon will share how to convey reflected and refracted colors and highlights as seen mirrored by a silver pot, through a crystal vase or as it travels through flower petals.  By pushing the limits of the dry brush technique in transparent watercolor the many layers of paint through color and shadows are revealed, producing the effect of an oil painting on canvas.  Workshop participants will cultivate the same unparalleled skills in creating their own representational paintings.

 

Sharon Wise is a 2014 CAM Biennial Honorable Mention recipient for her exquisitely detailed watercolor painting Eagles Nest and the First Place Winner of the 2012 CAM Biennial People’s Choice Award, for which she received a solo exhibition at Coos Art Museum.

 

Fee for the 3-day, adults only workshop is $175 for CAM members, $190 for non-members.  Participants should be familiar with painting using watercolor and be of intermediate to advanced skill level. Class size is restricted to 6 participants minimum, 12 maximum.  Registration ends February 28, 2015.  For online registration visit www.coosart.org or contact the Art Education Dept. at (541) 267-3901 or sldonaldson@coosart.org.

Get a Life

This is absolutely, definitely, certainly the last chance for you to see It's a Wonderful Life at the Dolphin theater in beautiful, downtown Empire.

Now you know you are sick to death of the Jimmy Stewart version and to tell the whole truth did you every, really buy Jimmy as George? No of course not, the Marlo Thomas version, It Happened One Christmas is so much better and besides it has Orson Wells as Potter and that's enough said.

But now you have a chance to see a live theater version right here in the beautiful Bay area and it would be a terrible shame to miss it and you wouldn't want people to say that YOU don't support local theater and you can take the Long Sufferin and get some extra points which will come in handy when she finds out what you bought yourself for Christmas and you can get away from the kids with all that sugar energy making even the dog hide and then when you get home no one will yell and scream when you turn on the football game which comes on after the 2:00 showing and you'll look like a big hero and not just the thing on the sofa.

So crack open the wallet, it's good for the moths to get a breath of fresh air every now and then and shell out the twenty bucks which you were just going to spend on beer and take the Long Sufferin and see a really great show and start the New Year as a good guy and not the dork you were all last year and wouldn't that be nice for a change, so go see It's a Wonderful Life and remember no beasts, no breasts, angel-foo, bell-foo, merriment-foo, Trawler-Bob says check it out!

It was a dark and stormy night

Why sit around waiting for the power to go out when you can join the Dolphin Players for their production of It's a Wonderful Life. You know you're going to watch it anyway so why not enjoy the excitement of live theater?

Theater is life
Film is art
television is furniture!

Besides if you come tonight you get to see The Ole Trawler himself taking the tickets and helping around the theater.

Now what could be better, great theater and seeing The Ole Trawler working, a sight seldom seen this century!

And you can do all of this and eat popcorn and drive in the rain and for only $10.00! You'd blow that on two lattes. Even less if you are a certified old fart or a small child. Children are $5 dollars and the senile rate is $8 so don't miss a chance to get something for letting your arteries harden!

And if you claim to be a small child you'd better be accompanied by a responsible parent. Try to find one of those on short notice.

And the Answer is...
