Tolovana gift bazaar supports local artisans
CANNON BEACH — Why
shop online or brave the big
box stores when you could
shower your loved ones with
locally made, one-of-a-kind
gifts?
Choosing the Tolovana
Arts Colony’s second-an-
nual Holiday Gift Bazaar is
a no-brainer — a lively and
meaningful antidote to cold,
corporate consumerism.
The bazaar kicks off with
a party 6 to 8 p.m. Friday,
Dec. 8, at Tolovana Hall
(3779 S. Hemlock). Friday’s
festive celebration features
food, wintry drinks, music
and more. There’s no better
way to shop than with a full
belly and in good company.
The bazaar continues
through the weekend, open
11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday,
Dec. 9, and Sunday, Dec.
10. But remember: Some of
these are one-of-a-kind items
and many will be scooped up
quick.

presents ‘Burning
Man: Desert Dreams’
MANZANITA — The Hoff-
man Center for the Arts will
host “Burning Man: Desert
Dreams,” a special presen-
tation by Lloyd Lindley and
David Newhouse, 7 p.m.
Thursday, Dec. 14.
“The evening will take
you on a magical journey
into the desert dreamscape
of the Burning Man Festi-
val in Black Rock Desert,
Nevada,” said “Yeti”
Lindley, of Manzanita, and
“Zoom” Newhouse, of
Hillsboro, “where you are
always welcomed home
as you arrive to begin
your own journey of sight,
sound, self expression and
wonder.”
Lindley has participated
in Burning Man five times,
Newhouse four.
Since its beginning on
San Francisco’s Baker
Beach in the summer of
1986, Burning Man’s at-
traction has grown year by
year into a temporary glob-
al city of 80,000 people.
“They all, in varying de-
grees, come to celebrate art
making and free expression,
contribute without expecta-
tions, and enjoy a sense of
community and friendship

The 2013, Burning Man
figure atop a “space ship,”
which also burned
world,” Lindley said.
“We live in a default
world. We get up everyday,
do the things we do, go to
bed, and do it all over again
the next day and subse-
quent days onward,” he
continued. “But for some of
us, in mid-August, we are
welcomed home to a desert
dreamscape, an alternative
lifestyle, city, community
and world.”
The event’s name comes
from its culminating act:
the symbolic ritual burning
of a large wooden effigy
(“the Man”) that tradition-
ally occurs on Saturday
evening.
“Burning Man fash-
ion and Burner wear are
optional for our Manzanita
presentation,” Lindley said.
