Saturday, June 1st, 3 to 5 p.m.
At Salvation Army Worship Center on 4th & Central
The Eastside and Bigelow Highlands neighborhood associations are sponsoring a family-friendly variety show that will be held on Saturday, June 1st from 3 to 5 p.m. at the Salvation Army Worship Center on 4th and Central. The doors will open at 2:30.
This is called the Eastside Neighbor-Tainment Variety Show. We want to bring neighbors together to create cohesiveness, unity, and connections in our neighborhoods, and make our City a happier and safer place to live.
Come to the show and you will see and hear performers of various ages doing poetry, piano-playing, guitar-playing, singing, and more. Our intention is to include a wide variety of performances that will appeal to people of all ages. It’s not a competition, just an afternoon of entertainment.
Anyone is welcome to attend and the event is free. In addition to performances, the program will include break time with refreshments and an opportunity for neighbors to get to know one another, and a sing-along.
We expect it to be a fun and well-attended event. Please join us. And feel free to bring along family and friends.
By the way, we still have a couple performance slots open. If you want to perform, send an e-mail to Roger Horn at ro********@***oo.com.
Hope you can make it! Thanks!!!
When? Friday, December 21st, 6:00 pm
Starting Point: Swantown Inn & Spa, corner of 11th Ave SE and Central
Once again some of your neighbors are gathering to do an hour or so of Christmas caroling in our neighborhood. If you’d like to join us please do! Either by yourself or bring a group of friends. The more the merrier.
We can provide song sheets. However the song book is also available on the ENA web site. You can download to your phone or the like. It makes it easier to read the words in the dark.
Also it is suggested to bring a flashlight or headlamp for navigating our sidewalks.
We will gather until 6:30, and have a practice run at 3-4 songs. Feel free to bring some “jingle bells”
Hot chocolate will be provided to get you warmed up! Feel free to bring cookies or the like to share.
Here is the BIG CHANGE from last year. We will not be as random in our destinations. If you live in the lower part of the neighborhood, and would like us to call on you, please post with a comment, noting your address. We plan on visiting up to 10 homes (dependent on distances between).
It’s great fun for young and old. Last year we had everything from 3 year olds to 90 years olds.
Our song book is available here; Eastside Neighborhood Caroling Songs_2018, and we will have some printed copies (it is easier to read the songs in the dark on devices (or with a flashlight if using paper version).
Our song list is as follows:
