Martin Luther King Breakfast Celebration.

Each year, on the third Monday of January, schools, federal offices, post office and banks across America close to celebrate the life and the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It is a time for the nation to remember the injustices that Dr. King fought. A time to remember his fight for the freedom, equality, and dignity of all races and peoples. A time to remember the message of change through nonviolence.

Mosaic Blueprint is coordinating the Dr. Martin Luther King Breakfast Celebration on Saturday, January 15, 2011 at Clark College Gaiser Hall from 9:00am to 11:00am. Speakers include Pastor Matt Hennessee with Vancouver First Avenue Baptist Church, and the event’s Keynote Speaker is Dr. Terryl Ross, Diversity Director, Oregon State University. There will be a special performance by Poet Emmett Wheatfall and a vocal performance by Clairece Rosati.

This is a participatory breakfast, so be prepared to interact in this celebration of Dr. King’s legacy of community service. Cost is $15 in advance, or $20 at the door (includes southern style breakfast). Pre-registration is required and can be processed by clicking the following MLK Breakfast Reservation.

The Vancouver Rotary Foundation‘s presentation of the Festival of Trees is now open. Hosted this year at the Pearson Air Museum, you should make the festival a big part of your High Flying Holiday season. We were out on location and thought we’d bring you a quick peek at some of the gorgeous trees that fill this awesome setting.

With loads of entertainment on schedule, a scavenger hunt, photos with Santa, and that super funny talking tree, you just have to get out and enjoy this event. It’s FREE this weekend, November 26-28, or discounted tickets for December 1-4.

Enjoy some of the pictures we took at the opening Friday night.

A Madcap Romp Through the Holidays in Vancouver.

Instead of performing Charles Dickens’ beloved holiday classic for the umpteenth time, three actors decide to perform every Christmas story ever told – plus Christmas traditions from around the world, seasonal icons from ancient times to topical pop-culture, and every carol ever sung. Everyone’s idea of Christmas in an hour and a half! A hysterical, fast & furious, madcap romp through the holiday season! Holiday fun for the whole family!

What people are saying:

“A show that will have you laughing harder than spiked egg nog.” – Kelly Monaghan, TheOtherOrlando

“Warning: If you see Every Christmas Story Ever Told, you’ll never be able to watch Dickens’ A Christmas Carol without laughing out loud.” – David Jabcobson, Life Newspapers Sacramento

Crystal Plum Bazaar

Christmas Wishes in Salmon Creek.

Almost-two-year-old Bridger wasn’t waiting for Santa to make his Christmas wishes at the Crystal Plum Bazaar at Alki Middle School in Salmon Creek.

Some of my favorite items at the Crystal Plum Bazaar were handbags made out of recycled plastic bags by Shellie Sews (shelliepc@hotmail.com), Dirt Soap by Country Memories Soap, Photography by Jodi Tripp, and glass art by A Glass Act.

There are lots of talented local artists and local vendors in Clark County. For unique gifts for your family, friends, or yourself, check out some of the upcoming Bazaars in our area.

Hope your wishes come true, and Happy Birthday Bridger!

Annual Ladybug Bazaar in Battle Ground

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:33:22 +0000

What is the Ladybug Bazaar all about?

The Ladybug Bazaar has two missions: First to provide a venue for quality handcrafted items by local artisans, and second to provide profits to the club which are used to carry out service to the community. The Ladybug Bazaar is the main fundraiser for GFWC – Battle Ground.

Starting as a small bazaar of 12 tables in the basement of the Odd Fellows Hall in 1967, the event has over the years grown in size and prestige. It is currently one of the largest non-commercial bazaars in Southwest Washington. The quality of the merchandise offered to the public is superb. Vendors must live in Clark County, Washington.

The Ladybug Bazaar will be held November 7, 2009 at Battle Ground High School from 9 am to 4 pm. There is no admission fee, but a donation of canned food or money for the North County Community Food Bank will be graciously accepted. For more information, call 360.687.1503, or click here.
