Go down the rabbit hole in Cannon Beach
CANNON BEACH —
Go down the rabbit hole
with a free, one-woman per-
formance of “Alice in Won-
derland” at 2 p.m. Saturday,
Feb. 23, at Tolovana Hall in
Cannon Beach.
All of Lewis Carroll’s
indelible characters —
including Alice, the Queen,
Cheshire Cat and the Mad
Hatter — will be chan-
neled by Anne Rutherford,
an award-winning story-
teller and arts educator from
Portland.
Rutherford’s ping-pong-
ing among Wonderland’s
wild points of view might
seem daunting — if not
downright mad — but Car-
roll’s story, after all, is about
exploring what’s really pos-
sible. As Carroll wrote,
“Alice had begun to think
that very few things indeed
were really impossible.”
Perhaps it’s fi tting for a
single performer to adapt
and deliver this shapeshift-
ing tale. As Alice herself
says: “How puzzling all

Friday, March 1, in the
Cannon Beach Library.
The 10 writers’ resi-
dences range from Gray’s
River on the Washing-
ton Coast to Nehalem
in Oregon. Their pieces
were selected from among
49 entries by a panel of
library volunteers, a book-
store representative and a
professional writer.
Many iconic experi-
ences special to the North
Coast are contained in the
selections. They include
a walk along the Colum-
bia River waterfront, a
drive from Portland to
Manzanita, an early morn-
ing stroll between the
river and the sea, a visit to
Klootchy Creek, a child’s
discovery in the Haystack
Rock tidepools and a new
resident’s first impres-
sions of living here full
time.
From November
through January, the Can-
non Beach Library asked
local residents and visitors
to submit entries about
life on the North Coast
to be read at the Writers
Read event. The pieces
were to be no longer than
600 words. The panel
making the selections read
the submissions without
knowing who the authors
were.
Entries — both those
that will be read March 1
and others submitted —
will be compiled in a per-
manent collection at the
library.
