10A | WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2018 | SIUSLAW NEWS Host a scholarship for area students Becoming a local scholarship provider is a way community members can make an imme- diate impact on the lives of our area graduates. Local scholarships are im- mensely important and help pave the way for students to achieve their goals of higher education. Anyone can set up a local scholarship — business own- ers, service clubs, public or private organizations and even individual community mem- bers can become scholarship providers. On Tuesday, Oct. 30, Siuslaw High School’s ASPIRE team will be holding an informa- tion meeting for any and all Florence community members interested in becoming a new local scholarship provider. Anyone interested is invited to attend and learn how to be- come a new local scholarship provider, why local scholar- ships are so important to our students and community, ex- plore the ever-rising cost of colleges and learn about our local scholarship awards cere- mony. The presentation will be held at the Siuslaw Public Library, 1460 Ninth St., in the Bromley Room, beginning at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 30. No RSVP required. Contact Siuslaw High School Counselor Steven Moser at smoser@siuslaw.k12.or.us for more information. Doo-Wah Riders to arrive in Florence tonight Seacoast Entertainment As- sociation will open its 2018-19 Season with the Doo-Wah Rid- ers on Wednesday, Oct. 24, at 7 p.m. at the Florence Events Cen- ter. Pre-show talk will begin at 6:15 p.m. For more than 30 years, the Doo-Wah Riders have been blazing their own trail on the musical range throughout the west. They possess the rare com- bination of many years of expe- rience and youthful energy, fired by a love of what they do. The Doo-Wahs are country with a unique original sound they define as “high energy country with a Cajun twist.” Their tight musicianship and powerful arrangements of clas- sic, contemporary and original songs have made them favorites everywhere they go. The Doo-Wahs consist of Kenny Lee Benson, keyboards, accordion, harmonica and vo- cals; Lindy Rasmussen, guitar and vocals; Aaron Castilla on fiddle and vocals; Freddie John- son, bass and vocals; And Peter Kaye on drums. The Doo-Wahs have appeared in concert with Garth Brooks, George Strait, Brad Paisley, Blake Shelton, Alabama, Alan Jack- son, Charlie Daniels, Faith Hill, Brooks and Dunn, Keith Urban, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton and the list goes on. In addition, to being artists in their own right, the Doo-Wahs have served as a back-up band to Chuck Berry, Charlie Daniels, George Jones, Glen Campbell and many more country legends. Tickets are on sale at the FEC Box Office or on the Seacoast Entertainment website at www. seacoastea.org. Tickets are $35 for adults or $10 for students under 18. KCST to host annual Great Pumpkin Give-Away tomorrow On Thursday, Oct. 25, from 3 to 5 p.m., KCST/KCFM Coast Radio will again present area kids and families with the Great Pumpkin Give-Away, an annual tradition now in its 30th year. Pumpkins will be handed out by Siu- slaw Valley Fire and Rescue volunteers at 4 p.m. An estimated 3,000 pounds of pump- kins will be given away, with most of them gathered in a 15-minute period. Definitely make sure you are not late be- cause once they are gone, they’re gone. Thirty years ago, KCST began hand- ing out free pumpkins to local children to celebrate its first anniversary on the air. That tradition will continue with the assistance of the Lemhouse family and Florence True Value, Old School Furni- ture and the Saw Shop. Pumpkins of all sizes will be piled up and then distributed for free while they last to kids under the age of 18. In addition to pumpkins, there will be free hot dogs, A&W Root Beer and plen- ty of treats for the kids. Coast Radio’s George Henry will be on the air live from 2:30 to 5 p.m. covering all the fun of the event. The Great Pump- kin Give-Away takes place at the Old School Furni- ture and The Saw Shop parking lot on Sixth Street and Highway 101. • Free hot dogs courtesy of Flor- KCST Coast Radio’s Great Pumpkin Give-Away hands out ence Dairy Queen thousands of pounds of pumpkins to area youth each year. & Keri’s Dunes Café • Games and treats courtesy of The • Free Florence A&W Root Beer Saw Shop and Old School Furniture • Free Trick or Treat candy courtesy of • Interact with Siuslaw Valley Fire and Florence Grocery Outlet, Mo’s and Siu- Rescue firefighters and vehicles slaw Glass and Mirror This event is open to families.
