In the realm of music, “consort” is an antiquated term for a group of instruments or voices; a good match for this group and a name that allows for the addition of other instruments as they are needed. The concert is free; donations are welcome to help support the Astoria Warming Center and the Food Pantry operated by Grace Episcopal Church. The Warm- ing Center recently provided a warm, safe place for the home- less during the coldest nights of the winter. 2 0 LANDSCAPE $ BARK (U-HAUL) per yard WARRENTON FIBER 8am-5pm 861-3305 Mon-Fri, 389 NW 13th St., Warrenton don’t let a gray day get i n the w ay... the sun is O n ly prem iu m sm all batch special reserve fu ll lin e can n abis prod u cts from W ashin gton ’s fin est bou tiqu e grow er s.
