Be a tourist in your own hometown
Rain Magazine 2019 open for submissions
Pacific and Clatsop Coun-
ties are known throughout the
region for their tourist attrac-
tions, but how long has it been
since you visited these sites?
As a “local tourist,” the
Hometown Tourism Days on
Saturday, Nov. 10, and Sunday,
Nov. 11 (Veterans Day), might
be just the ticket for you.
Local sites are working
together to offer free or reduced
admissions or other special
deals on these days to encour-
age their neighbors to come and
see what they have to offer.

ASTORIA — Rain Maga-
zine, a Clatsop Community
College publication, wel-
comes submissions through
Friday, Feb. 1, for the 2019
edition.
Rain welcomes submis-
sions from the public as well
as CCC students and area
high school students.
All general submissions
of art, fiction, poetry and
non-fiction will be consid-
ered.
Instead of a theme for
this year’s issue, the maga-

to collect anecdotes from
those who have worked on
the magazine and have been
published in the magazine
for a special section cele-
brating the magazine’s long

Former staff members
are especially encouraged
to share their experiences or
get in touch to be inter-
viewed.
