“Words Are Tools” - A Super
Groovy Cosmic Bus Event
First Friday just keeps getting more interesting in Vernonia. In addition to the
Open Air Market and Art Sale, and Open Mic at the Grange, the June edition of
First Friday will feature “Words Are Tools,” a collection of rusty tools and junk,
creatively recycled into the mightiest tool of all- the written word.
The exhibit is a collection of art created by Paula Hanson, and will feature
Live music by Cotton Jenny.
Bring an old rusty tool you no longer use and help create a community word.
Have something to say to the world? Submit your writings (stories, poetry, jokes,
opinions) to the Super Groovy Cosmic Bus on June 6th, and the best will be posted
on line. The Bus’s favorite will earn the writer a gift card to the Black Bear.
Stop by and check out this happening, next door to The Black Bear on First
Friday, June 6th, between 3:00 and 6:00 PM. Check out: myspace.com/sgcos-
micbus or email sgcosmicbus@gmail.com for more information.
