WHAT’S HAPPENING The Wayward Lamb is hosting Noche Latinx, a night of custom Latin American-inspired cocktails, food for purchase from the Navarro’s Latin Creole Kitchen food truck, art, music and dance. The event is a benefit for the Beyond Toxics Farmworker Justice Campaign; the entire cover fee for the event will go to Beyond Toxics. Ninkasi Brewery will also be present with its Pints for a Cause program donating $1 for every pint sold to the non-profit. “At 6 pm The Den Annex will open so that patrons can browse the art exhibition of a handful of local Latinx and minority artists from the Eugene/ Springfield area,” says event coordinator Kat Herrera. The main event, featuring a live DJ — Pedro Pachco of NAMI Lane County playing a variety of salsa, cumbia, bachata and reggae- ton hits — will take place from 9 pm to 2 am. Noche Latinx is 9 pm to 2 am on Thursday, Dec. 7, at The Wayward Lamb (150 W. Broad- way). The art exhibit will be open at 6 pm. The event is 21+ and costs $5. — Meerah Powell 22 December 7, 2017 • eugeneweekly.com THURSDAY DECEMBER 7 S U N R I S E 7: 3 3 A M ; S U N S E T 4 : 3 4 P M A V G . H I G H 4 7; A V G .
