Dance the Night Away

HELLO EVERYONE,

Thank you for all your help throughout the entire 2016-2017 dance season.  It's been a good year.  

Here is our PSA for the last dance of the season.  It's a big one.

Seven talented local musicians have formed a new band called The Daytimers and their sound is amazing.  

This will be their first contra dance and it promises to be a big success.

A caller from Portland, Ric Goldman will be at the mic teaching and calling all evening.  

Ric was a big hit in February, so we are looking forward to his return next Saturday.

Thanks again for all you do.

Have a great summer.

The Folk Society has arranged for a guest caller from Portland, Ric Goldman, to guide dancers throughout the evening.  He will teach every move and figure you need to know.  Ric is a highly experienced and very personable caller with an exciting repertoire of dances.  His dances are appropriate for all ages and skill levels.  Lesson begin at 7PM, and first timers who take the lesson will receive a ticket for free admission to their next dance.  Wear your dancing shoes, casual clothes, and a big smile.

Charleston Marine Life Center Ribbon Cutting and Grand Opening

May 21, 2016, 1pm

63466 Boat Basin Road, Oregon Institute of Marine Biology campus

The Oregon Institute of Marine Biology and the University of Oregon invite the public to the opening of the Charleston Marine Life Center (CMLC).  The celebration will begin with welcoming remarks, followed by a ribbon (in this case kelp) cutting and opening of the Charleston Marine Life Center doors.  The Center will remain open until 5pm and admission is free on opening day.

Located on the edge of the harbor in Charleston, OR, the Charleston Marine Life Center is an exciting place for discovery.  Aquaria highlighting different coastal ecosystems, a tidepool touch tank, whale and sea lion skeletons, underwater video from deep reefs and undersea volcanoes, and a variety of specimens reveal the hidden and remarkable diversity of life off Oregon, from the coast to the deep sea.  Five exhibit galleries focus on coastal ecosystems, deep-water habitats, fisheries, marine mammals, and ongoing marine biology research.  A covered open-air gallery and the CMLC windows provide spectacular views of the harbor, seals and sea lions, and fishing boats unloading their catch.

After the May 21^st opening, the Charleston Marine Life Center will be open to the public Wednesdays through Saturdays, 11am to 5pm.  Admission is $5 for adults, $4 for seniors, and free for children and students.

The Marine Life Center is part of the University of Oregon’s Institute of Marine Biology (OIMB).  OIMB is a world-renowned research center, has held college courses in Charleston since 1924, and is designated by the federal government as a Center for Ocean Sciences Education Excellence.  Offering the only Marine Biology undergraduate degree in Oregon, OIMB has tens of thousands of alumni worldwide. The opening of the Charleston Marine Life Center expands the reach of the institute by providing high-quality marine education to the public and to K-12 students. 

The Charleston Marine Life Center was constructed with the generous support of numerous foundations, tribes, businesses and individuals.  A portion of the construction costs came from Coos County economic development funds.

COOS BAY — Try something new or connect with your ancient heritage at the South Coast Celtic Fest this Saturday, May 7, in Empire Hall at Southwestern Oregon Community College. It’s a day of culture and fun from the Celtic nations — Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Man, Cornwall, Brittany  (in France) and Galicia (in Spain).

This year’s festival features The Fire Inside, a Celtic band from the Seattle area, and Two Rivers Morris, a group from Eugene that performs Morris dancing, a lively traditional dance form from the British Isles.

Starting at 10 a.m. there’ll be 19 hands-on workshops in music, crafts and history. Bring an instrument and learn some new tunes. Try Scottish dancing, learn to play the bodhran, sing a pub song or write a song of your own. Make a bracelet or learn how to travel off the beaten path in Ireland and Scotland. Kids can listen to stories, learn a dance, make a woolen sheep or bring their violin and learn Irish fiddling. 

The evening concert at 7 p.m. will feature a grand entry by the Oregon Coast Pipe and Drum Band, followed by lively dancing by Two Rivers Morris, singing with Bill Mrkvicka and then the hot Irish and Scottish sounds of The Fire Inside. There’ll also be free Celtic music all day, plus a jam session for all comers at 5 p.m. Enjoy free craft demonstrations all day in the lobby and browse our vendors of CDs, jewelry and musical books and instruments. A Celtic buffet dinner will round out the experience. 

An all-workshops pass is $15 for adults and $5 for children, and tickets to the evening concert are $20. The Celtic buffet, presented by Oregon Coast Culinary Institute, is $7. The Celtic Fest is a benefit for the South Coast Folk Society, Coastal Celtic Society and Soroptimist International of the Coos Bay Area. For complete workshop descriptions and ticket info, visit http://southcoastfolksociety.wordpress.com, find South Coast Celtic Fest on Facebook, or call 541-808-1773. Southwestern Oregon Community College is at 1988 Newmark Ave. in Coos Bay.
