Ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day
By ALYSSA EVANS
COAST WEEKEND EDITOR
H
appy Valentine’s Day.
This weekend brings a handful
of Valentine’s Day celebrations, as
well as some of the coast’s most popular
annual events.
The festivities start Thursday evening
as the nine-week Pacifi c Story Slam fea-
tures stories about love in Seaside.
On Friday, the Labor Temple will
host its “Stupid Cupid Valentine’s Day
Comedy Show,” featuring comics from
Portland.
Local musicians will also perform love-
themed music Friday night. Astoria-based
Kelley Shannon will join pianist George
Colligan for “Decades of Love Songs”
at Clatsop Community College’s Per-
forming Arts Center. In Long Beach, the
Elks Lodge and Peninsula Senior Activity
Center will host music-fi lled Valentine’s
Day events as well. On Saturday in Sea-
side, Just Us 4 will play rock, country and
bluegrass during the Seaside American
Legion’s Valentine’s Day dinner.
These events are just a few that will
keep the coast busy this holiday week-
end. In Astoria on Saturday, Fort George
Brewery will host its annual celebration of
stout beers, the Festival of Dark Arts. On
Sunday, visitors at Fort Clatsop will take
part in the Great Backyard Bird Count, an
international event where participants col-
lect data on bird species. Both events will
bring with them a variety of features, such
as musicians and speakers.
Additional event information and a
complete listing of this weekend’s events
is available in our Music Happenings and
See+Do calendars.
Regardless of what you choose to do
this weekend, I hope you make the most
of your holiday weekend and spend time
with loved ones.
