COMMUNITY BRIEFS
Museum donor to

A 150-year old family quilt
donated to the Cottage Grove
Museum by lifelong Cottage
Grove resident Phyllis Pruitt
and her 90th birthday are cause
for a celebration hosted jointly
by the Cottage Grove Museum
and the Cottage Grove Genea-
logical Society on Saturday, Jan.
30 from 2-4 p.m. at the Cottage
Grove Museum, on the corner
of Birch Avenue and H Street in
Cottage Grove.
Pruitt will share the multi-
generational, documented his-
tory of the family quilt she re-
cently donated to the museum.
“The museum is delighted to
accept this gift,” said museum
Board President Becky Venice.
“It is a wonderful addition to
our quilt collection and we are
proud to have it in our care.
Hearing Phyllis tell the story
of the quilt helps make it come
alive.”
As part of the museum’s col-
lection, the quilt will be docu-
mented by the Oregon Quilt
Project and listed in the Nation-
al Quilt Index.
The public is invited to attend
this celebration. Cake and light
refreshments will be served.

‘Annie Get Your
Gun’ auditions
Cottage Theatre will hold
auditions for “Annie Get Your
Gun” on Sunday, Feb. 7 and
Monday, Feb. 8 at 6:30 p.m.
This production of Irving Ber-
lin’s ever-popular musical, as
revised in 1999 by Peter Stone,
tells a fi ctionalized version of
the life of sharpshooter Annie
Oakley (1860-1926). Auditions
will be held at the theatre, lo-
cated at 700 Village Drive in
Cottage Grove.
Stone reshaped the original
1946 classic to create a Wild
West show-within-a-show that
frames the ageless “Anything
You Can Do I Can Do Better”
love story of Annie Oakley and
rival marksman Frank Butler.
A large cast of over 20 actors
(men, women and children) is
needed for this production di-
rected by Tony Rust. “Annie Get
Your Gun” will run for 15 per-
formances from April 8-May 1.
These auditions are open to
any interested actors and no ap-
pointment is necessary. Potential
cast members should come pre-
pared to sing about 18 bars from
a classic American musical and
a section of “There’s No Busi-
ness Like Show Business.” Ac-
tors should also come dressed
and ready for a short dance
audition. Additional details are
available at www.cottageth-
eatre.org or by calling Cottage
Theatre at 541-942-8001.
Community
garden
presentation

has been operating a successful
school/community garden for
several years under the devoted
leadership of Suzanne Keaveny,
a very active member of Cottage
Grove Garden Club. Cottage

ly refurbished garden and green-
house because of the dedicated
efforts of Joel Reiten, longtime
Grover and global seed buyer
for MARS Corporation who has
made this work fi nancially pos-
sible through their philanthropic
community support program.
And plans are in the works for
an upcoming heirloom orchard
along the bike trail.
On Tuesday, Feb. 2 at 7 p.m.,
Reiten will be describing the
