It’s Happening at Chinook Winds in January ...
Bridal Show Simplifies Planning a
Wedding at the Coast
Getting married at the beach is a
dream for many couples. But figuring
out who should do the flowers, the cake,
and other things can add extra pressure
on the new couple. The Oregon Coast
Bridal Show at Chinook Winds
Casino on Jan. 24-25 will
provide answers to every
bride and groom’s query.
Any couple that has
hoped to hear the waves
on the beach while they exchange vows
but also wanted to make getting to their
reception simple will enjoy the Oregon
Coast Bridal Show. Chinook Winds’
convention center is the perfect place
to hold a lovely reception, just steps away
from the beach.
Along with florists, travel agents,
and jewelers, the evening of Jan. 24 will
feature a live fashion show
with creative examples of
everything from the bride’s
hair to her shoes. One lucky
couple will win a complete
wedding for 100 and a honey
moon Hawaiian Islands cruise.
The Oregon Coast Bridal Show
runs from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Jan. 24
and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Jan. 25.
There is no admission charge and the
show is open to all ages.
Oregon Comedians Highlight
Comedy on the Coast
A special Comedy on the Coast
with three Oregon comedians is set for
Jan. 23-24.
In the Pacific Northwest, we have
our own distinct sense of humor and this
show presents an opportunity for the
audience and the comedians to share it.
Dave Anderson is the headliner,
with Susan Rice as the featured
comedian and Art Krug as the host.
Anderson has accomplished
something few comedians can
claim - he’s funny without
being offensive. His career
began at a weekly comedy
showcase in Portland, Ore.
Soon he was performing at
comedy clubs and colleges
across the country.
In 1986, Anderson appeared
on the CBS Morning Show. It was
enough to convince a producer at rival
station NBC that Dave was funny. Two
weeks later, he was hired as a staff
comedy writer for NBC’s comedy game
show Wordplay.
Soon he was busy appearing on
such television shows as An Evening at
the Improv, Fox’s Comedy Express, and
VHl’s Stand-up Spotlight. Anderson
was both host and reporter for
Portland’s Around Town.
He currently is a contributing writer
for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,
co-host of the Mark & Dave Show on
1190 KEX in Portland, and has just
released his first comedy CD, Who Will
Find Me, Who Will Care?
Rice, a Pacific Northwest native,
began her comedy career in college.
Her love of performing arts began in
San Diego and continued in Portland,
where she worked in banking and
pursued an acting career.
Rice discovered comedy in a little
pub called The Leaky Roof Tavern and
from the moment she stepped on stage,
she knew she had found her career.
For 15 years, she’s been a pro
fessional stand-up comedian.
Television appearances in
clude An Evening at the
Improv and Comedy Central.
Comedy Clubs include Catch
a Rising Star, The Ice House,
The Laff Stop, The Improve, and The
Laugh Factory.
A preacher’s son from Oregon,
Art Krug has the calm exterior of the
guy next door who always seemed so
normal. But onstage, he’s a boiling
comic spirit with a unique voice that
has placed him among the top
comedians in the Northwest.
Krug has toured the U.S. and
Canada for 18 years and appeared on
Showtime’s Comedy Club.
Doors open at 7:30 p.m.; the show
begins at 8 p.m. A no-host bar will be
available. Tickets are $12.
