Heritage Apple Festival
October 5th from 11am-3pm
White Clover Grange

Join us on Saturday 10/5 from 11-3 at the White Clover ‘s second annual Heritage Apple Festival! This family centered event features fresh pressed cider, apple treats, and a tasting of a variety of fruit from our community’s heritage trees. Plus Gnarly Tacos will be there, serving their delicious tacos.
There will be local heritage apple tastings and games and activities for the kids. Heritage apple trees will be available for sale, as well as a raffle to support the Grange.
Carola Wine + Cider will be pressing apples with hot and cold cider available. It’s not necessary to bring apples to participate, but if you have extra apples on your home trees, bring them along and we’ll press them! We’re asking folks to make a donation for cider that they drink on site or take home with them. Bring your own jars, and we’ll give you a discount!
This event is free to the public thanks to a generous grant from the Tillamook County Cultural Coalition.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Reserve your spot now, mark your calendar – this is an event to be sure to attend! These women are some of our icons of grace, power and lives-well-lived. Several of mentors and greatly admired women in this group, and heck yes – we all need to hear “When A Woman Tells the Truth”. This is bound to be one of those “you’ll wish had been there moments” in Manzanita, September 18th at Hoffman Center.

(MANZANITA, OREGON)—What happens when women tell the truth? Find out at a special event at Hoffman Center, Wednesday, September 18, 4 p.m. featuring Dena Taylor and her latest book, “When A Woman Tells The Truth,” an anthology of creative works and writings about life by women in their 80s.

Along with Taylor, seven local women—all over 80—will read their favorite pieces from this anthology. Readers will include Liz Cole, Claudia Johnson, Julianne Johnson, Linda Kozlowski, Ann Morgan, Leila Salmon and Suzanne Wallis. Glenna Cook, a poet, will be here from Puyallup to read her selection from the book.
A regular visitor to Manzanita for over 60+ years and a resident of Santa Cruz, California for over five decades Taylor has filled her post-retirement years with activism, writing, extensive international travel, obtaining her pilot’s license, and saying yes to unusual opportunities of all kinds from her circle of life-long friends.

“I turned 80 in March of 2021 and was talking to a friend who had also recently turned 80. We discussed what that milestone meant to us, and we wondered what other women were going through. We decided to find out and this book project was born,” said Taylor.

“I am eager to share this book and conversation with the Nehalem Bay area community and look forward to hearing the amazing women—all in their 80s—who have stepped up to read at this event. This will be a fantastic opportunity for women and men to hear what older women have to say!”

The book is filled with funny, heart-breaking, tender, sly, angry and loving stories, poems, essays and memoirs by poets, professors, Zen Buddhists, theater directors, French teachers, jewelry artists, union organizers, midwives, hospice workers—all women in their 80s. The honesty, wisdom and humor contained in the book’s pages portray rich lives whose roots are still growing into the future.

The book will be available for sale at the event and the author will be signing. Secure your spot in advance at hoffmanarts.org/events/author-event-dena-taylor/?Admission is $7 at the door, if space is available. Hoffman Center for the Arts, 594 Laneda Avenue, Manzanita.

“When A Woman Tells The Truth” is Taylor’s ninth published book. Her other titles include, “Exclamation Points: Collected Poems,” she co-authored with her daughter Becky Taylor “Tell Me The Number Before Infinity: The story of a girl with a quirky mind, an eccentric family, and oh yes, a disability,” and several books on women’s issues. Dena Taylor completed her graduate studies at Rutgers School of Social Work and is retired from careers in social work and education.

Once upon a time our ancestors lived in a color shed.

Anywhere they would travel the people would know where they came from by the unique colors of the textiles they wore and the patterns weaved into their baskets and blankets.

Before dyes were made from industrial chemicals they were found in local forests and meadows.

Colors were sourced from hundreds of native plants like salal, black walnut, oregon grape root and in the fall of the pacific northwest.. mushrooms!

Today there’s a movement of folks learning about and reclaiming the colors of their valleys and forest.

Imagine Oregon football teams proudly wearing school colors of golden Dyer’s Polypore mushrooms and Black Walnut hulls?

If you’re someone who loves art, nature, cauldron steam and fall mushrooms- this one is for you!

Why would anyone want to spend a weekend in a community grief ritual?

1. Grief is a part of life. There’s no escaping it. It’s a part of being human and living in a world of constant loss and change.

2. We all deal with grief personally but very few of us know how to to honor it, hold it, share with others or be true friends in need.

3. Our culture values being independent and portrays emotions as weakness (especially for men). Grief feels like a burden we place on others and something we need to get over quickly and keep to ourselves.

4. So when grief comes- in a death, divorce, illness, rejection, lost dreams, war, politics, clear cuts etc. where do we go? It’s more acceptable to turn to food, drinking, overworking, scrolling on our phones and taking pills for depression than it is to simply grieve and call it sacred.

These are just a few reasons that having a place to come and grieve with others is so vitally important.

Grief is not meant to be shameful. It’s a beautiful expression of love for life and the world.

We can learn to be grief tenders for ourselves and the community we live in.

Please join us for the:

1st Annual Oregon Coast Community Grief Ritual
Friday, October 11th- Sunday, October 13th
