It’s sort of a grim movie plot, but the film Stand By Me has become a staple in the history of Brownsville, Oregon. Stand By Me, based on a story by horror author Stephen King, was filmed in Brownsville the summer of 1985. The town has celebrated Stand By Me day since 2007, and the yearly event is coming up on Sunday, July 23. The day starts with a blueberry pancake breakfast at 8 am at “Irby’s Billiards,” or the Brownsville Saloon (419 N. Main Street, Brownsville). At 11 am there will be a “Fun Facts and Fan Forum” at the American Legion Hall (339 N. Main Street) for fans to share stories and reminisce about the movie. All throughout the day there will be walking tours of Stand By Me’s various film- ing locations. There will also be a costume contest, live music and, of course, showings of the movie at the Linn County Historical Museum’s Box Car Theater (101 E. Park Avenue, Brownsville). Stand by Me Day has various events happening through- out the day in Brownsville on Sunday, July 23. Prices vary for each event. Most of the day’s activities will take place around the Linn County Historical Museum (101 E. Park Avenue, Brownsville). The day serves as a fundraiser for the Linn County Museum Friends. — Meerah Powell 14 July 20, 2017 • eugeneweekly.com
