A Séance & Spirits Tast- ing with Ethereal Bites will invoke the inn’s infamous ghosts Oct. 29. The Inn will continue to offer special holiday menus on Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve, and will par- ticipate in the Long Beach Peninsula’s Wild Mushroom Celebration, October through mid-November, by showcas- ing the region’s highly prized native edibles. About the Shelburne The Shelburne Inn was es- tablished in 1896 as a coastal retreat for city visitors. Charles Beaver built the Victorian-style inn as his home and boarding house, gracing it with the name Shelburne after a grand ho- tel in Dublin, Ireland. In 1911 the building was pulled across the street by a team of horses and adjoined to an- other building to accommo- date its increasing numbers of summer guests. During that era, visitors arrived from Portland via the side-wheeler T.J. Potter, a ferry from As- toria to Megler and the Clam Shell Railroad to one of its main stops, The Shelburne Station. Four major phases of refur- bishing have been completed to date, and the inn is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Campiche and Anderson have owned and op- erated the inn since 1977. Today, the Shelburne Inn offers 15 antique-appointed guestrooms, all with private baths and many with private decks. A gourmet breakfast is included for overnight guests as are complimentary coffee and tea in the lobby. The inn serves breakfast, lunch and dinner daily at the Shelburne Restaurant and Pub. Building from local and Northwest ingredients, the restaurant menu and pub fare provide choices for both ca- sual and ¿ne dining. Heritage breads, pastries and desserts are prepared in the in-house bakery. The dining room is notable for its art nouveau stained-glass window, which was salvaged from a church in Morecambe, England. With an eye on the inn’s future, Anderson and Cam- piche are immersing Ilwaco High School students into the hospitality industry, with a focus on the culinary arts. With a daily class at the inn, participants in the ProStart program are given hands-on instruction and experience in food preparation as well as hospitality and management training.

The brewery is located at 1483 Duane St.; the show is open to all ages, and there is no cover. The band¶s name is ¿tting, led by Leopold, who regales audiences with stories from his rich past as a musician and artist in the halcyon days of the 1960s. Leopold was the original bass player in the cult band Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks. Playing all original music, Jaime Leopold & the Short Stories celebrate a wild deck of characters in the style of what the band calls Ameri- can quirk: folk, country and acid memory. It’s a collabo- rative effort with all the band members contributing to this genre-bending music. The band features Leopold on guitar and vocals, Jennifer “the Polish Princess” Smieja on vocals, Clark “the Rev- erend” Salisbury on guitar, Aaron “Gatemouth” Lowe on harmonica, J. Michael Kersey on bass, and Eugene Fred Ingram on drums. Leopold’s songs are in- spired by his early years in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco as a part of the youth culture move- T H SEAVIEW, Wash. — March 4, 2016 – The Shelburne Inn, Restaurant & Pub is cele- brating 120 years of contin- uous operation in 2016. To mark the milestone, longtime owners David Campiche and Laurie Anderson are present- ing a full calendar of special events for returning and new guests. “Being key holders to a landmark inn has many rewards,” said Anderson. “We’re happy to have suc- cessfully retained the char- acteristic charm of the Shel- burne Inn while keeping pace with the needs of today’s dis- cerning traveler. “We’re especially pleased to mark the 120th year of the inn’s operation with en- tertaining events that speak to the essence of this unique property, summarized best by our tagline, ‘The Shel- burne Inn, established 1896, grounded in tradition, bound by none.’” Toasting the occasion, a series of Wine Dinners have been planned with Arcane Cellars (March 25), William Hatcher Pinot Noir and A to Z Wineworks (May 13) and Woodhouse Wine Estates (Nov. 4). A feast for the senses with a good cause, a Middle East- ern Dinner, complete with belly dancers, will be pre- sented April 20, as a bene¿t for Syrian Refugees. The Shelburne will part- ner with local craft brewery North Jetty (Sept. 16) and Seattle’s Pike Brewing Com- pany (Oct. 28) for Beer Din- ners. An accomplished potter, Campiche’s hand-thrown tea bowls will be set for a Japa- nese Tea on June 26. A Hem- mingway Dinner (July 9) and a Jane Austen Tea (Dec. 17) are also among the mix, as are classic cocktail (May 27) and sake (June 25) tastings.

He hung out with many legends of those times, including Al- len Ginsburg, Neal Cassady and Jerry Garcia, and was present at seminal counter- culture events like the 1967 Human Be-in, Ken Kesey’s Acid Tests, The Death of Hip, and the Avalon Ball- room and Fillmore Audito- rium music scene. Leopold, totting his up- right bass from his hometown of Portland to San Francisco, played in The Orkustra, a psychedelic electri¿ed or- chestra, before becoming the original and longtime bass player for Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks.After four well-re- ceived albums with the band, he moved back to Portland, rasied a family — and never stopped scribbling in his mu- sical diary. His approach to art and life was strongly in- Àuenced by those freewheel- ing times. Jaime Leopold & the Short Stories continue to bring new tales of truth and consequence to all those willing to slow down and take a listen. The group’s lat- est album is “Live At O’Con- nor’s,” a venerable Portland roadhouse. U N E Q U A T I O N F E Su n + Bea ch + O cea n + Q U ALITY G RO W ERS HAN D G RO W N C AN N ABIS!
