The 36th Great Columbia Crossing is Sunday, mark- ing the only time pedestrians are allowed across the Asto- ria-Megler Bridge. This year will be a bit differ- ent as the entire bridge will close to vehicles from 8:30 to 11 a.m. to improve security for runners. The 10-kilometer run/walk begins at Dismal Nitch Rest Area on the Washington side and ends at the Port of Astoria. “We encourage residents of the area to plan for this and schedule trips over the bridge before or after the event, or on another day,” the Asto- ria-Warrenton Chamber of Commerce wrote in a press release. “Be creative and make this a positive experience. For ex- ample, a church with mem- bers coming in advance of the bridge closure might want to plan a breakfast before the service. Offer ‘stranded trav- elers’ something extra to do that morning by opening ear- ly, granting a late checkout time, or offering a special deal to invite them in your doors.” Nutcracker ticket sales start Monday Tickets go on sale Monday for the 44th season of the Little Ballet Theatre’s “Nut- cracker.” “Nutcracker” includes a cast of 80 dancers, a 55-piece or- chestra conducted by Cory Pedersen, and a 12-voice choir. The performance is suitable for all ages. Guest artists Eliz- abeth Barretto and Andrew Taft, principal dancers from Boise-based Ballet Idaho, will appear through the courte- sy of Garrett Anderson, the group’s artistic director. Performances, which are in the Astoria High School Audi- torium, are at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 1, and at 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 2. Reserved tickets are avail- able online through the Lib- erty Theatre website and at the Liberty Theatre box office. For more information, call Little Ballet Theatre at 503- 861-1971.
