SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 18, 2017 7 A CROW fundraiser President Spilde earns CASE leadership award targets sweet tooth On Saturday, Feb. 11, at 6:30 p.m. at Three Rivers Casino Resort Showroom, things are going to get sinful- ly sweet as local bakers, restaurants, caterers and pur- veyors of delicious treats vie for recognition and prizes at CROW’s first annual “Death by Dessert” fundraiser. Sweethearts and singles are both encouraged to tickle their tastebuds at this Valentine’s Day weekend party. Guests will be invited to try samples of a large variety of decadent sweets and treats and then vote for their favorites, kick up their heels a bit to the Rat Pack stylings of “Buck and A Quarter Band” and participate in a fantastic Silent Auction and Wine Pull. And, all of this will be hap- pening while attendees are supporting a truly great cause — local youth in the arts. Last year’s CROW fundraiser was nearly sold out, so it is best to reserve your tickets early. Pre-sale tickets are $22 each, or $40 for a couple. At the door tick- ets are $25 each, and $45 for a couple, upon availability. Tickets include a large vari- ety of dessert samples includ- ing cakes, pies, cookies, brownies and unique desserts, live music, the opportunity to pull a fancy bottle of wine from a wine wall and to bid on the amazing baskets, prizes and desserts up for grabs. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. The Death by Dessert theme goes hand-in-hand with CROW’s production of “The Addams Family,” a darkly comic musical. Bakers may still apply to enter the contest through Friday, Jan. 20. CROW is ask- ing that contestants provide 300 bite-sized tastes or sam- ples of their best dessert, to be automatically entered in a fierce and feisty contest to win recognition and prizes. Participants can enter only one type of dessert (cake, cookie, brownie, pie or other dessert), and they must donate enough for 300 samples. To reserve your ticket for Death by Dessert or to get involved, visit crowkids.com or contact Melanie Heard at crowtheatrekids@yahoo.com or 541-999-8641.

This juried show will accept art pieces from local, regional, and international art quilters. The theme of this inaugural show will be “Gems of the Ocean.” Details of the call to artists can be found at www.ocean artistrycall.com. Quilt entries will be accepted between Dec. 15, 2016 and Jan. 15, 2017, and will be decided by Feb. 1, 2017. Final judging will be made by a five-person panel of artists and dignitaries during the show. All selected entries will be on display during the Ocean Artistry Art Quilt show at the Yachats Commons in the multi-pur- pose room. The show will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. “One of the goals of the show is to introduce art quilt- ing to both locals and visitors to the area,” said Bass. “We thought the ocean theme would allow artists to explore the beauty of this area and make interpretations based on their own whimsy.” The new art show has already received finan- cial support from both the Siletz Tribal Charitable Contribution Fund and the City of Yachats’ New Event Fund. “We’re delighted to bring this type of show to Yachats. This will brighten up the town and we welcome every- one to experience an art quilt show,” said Bass. For more information, visit info@oceanartistry.org.
