Last year, Lincoln City celebrated the new millennium by placing 2000 hand-blown glass floats along the shoreline for coastal residents and visitors to find. This was so well received by the public that it’s happening again this year. 2,001 multi-colored glass spheres will await discovery on the beaches of Lincoln City as a part of “2001: A Glass Float Odyssey.” The officially stamped and numbered glass creations appear from Oct. 14 through Memorial Day weekend of 2001. Each float is “one of a kind.” When floats are found, they become priceless collector’s items once registered, and a certificate of authenticity can be obtained through the Lincoln City Visitor and Convention Bureau. Two related events will take place at Chinook Winds Casino in October: The Odyssey Ball, Oct. 14: Last year called the Millennium Ball, this is the second year for this gala event. The ticket price of $50 per person includes dinner, live music, dancing, a silent auction, and a hand-blown glass float to take home. (If purchased, the floats alone sell for $50.) Limited seating is available for this very special evening. Tickets are available through the Lincoln City Visitor and Convention Bureau. A Glass Galore Odyssey, Oct. 21-22: Northwest glass artists gather to offer stained, fused, blown, torched, and glass art of all styles, available for purchase at this one-of-a-kind glass art fair. Admission is free. See some of the most exquisite glass artistry to be found anywhere. It’s a virtual feast for the eyes.
