WHAT’S
happening
Each year, the Eugene Day of
Remembrance Committee
holds an event to remem-
ber the internment of
120,000 Japanese
Americans in the West dur-
ing WWII, and to combat the
racist prejudices that allowed
it to happen. This year’s event
is a symposium entitled
“Forging Links to Resist Racism
and Discrimination: Lessons
from the Japanese American
Internment — Latino Immigration in the New World Order.” Panel discussions, presenta-
tions, a potluck of Japanese and Latino foods and a ceremony recognizing heroes in the
local community will take place throughout the day. See Saturday Calendar.
The KLCC Microbrew Festival returns this weekend to the Lane County Fairgrounds.
Brewers from all over the West and as far away as Vermont will be offering samples of an
incredible array of beers, from New Belgium’s ubiquitous Fat Tire to Mountain Meadows
Mead’s Honeymoon Nectar Sweet Honeywine. A Collaboration Brew, concocted by several
Oregon brewers, will be ready for sampling, and Silvan Ridge will provide wine for those who
prefer grapes to hops. Use the few dollars you don’t spend on beer tastings and pick up
some new music at the Micro Music Sale, featuring hundreds of cheap used records and CDs
— and don’t forget to pay attention to musical guests Misty River (Friday) and Amadan
(Saturday). $10 puts a souvenir glass in your hand and ushers you in the door with one tasting
ticket to start your evening. See Friday Calendar.
The UO Museum of Natural and Cultural History reopens this weekend with a new perma-
nent exhibit, Oregon: Where Past is Present. The exhibit includes four murals by Don Prechtel
and a replica of a 500-year-old Native American cedar plank house built with traditional tech-
niques by Grand Ronde tribal members. Reopening activities begin with a ceremonial ribbon cut-
ting at noon on Friday. See story, page 15, and Friday Calendar.
