Winter Solstice Celebration needs you
Calling all those interested in helping plan a 3rd annual Columbia City Solstice Celebration!
There are rumblings of interest in another solstice party. This year we don't have the financial and coordination support from SEEDArts, so if this is going to happen we'll need to get some helping hands to make it work.
A few pieces are in place: we've got two possible locations (the new Cultural Corner or the Southside Commons), I'm willing to put on another lantern-making workshop, and Dan's ready to make a labyrinth again. We've got the poetry stylings of Paul Nelson and his SPLAB compadres, and I'm working on rounding up some singers.

We have some ideas for a format, and would love some help pulling it all together. Commitment would be to come to a couple of meetings, help spread the word, help help set up, and help clean up.

It's on! It's official! We'll be celebrating the solstice a couple days early this coming Sunday.
Lantern/Light Parade starts at sunset (4:15pm) at one of the four directions:
EAST: 42nd/Angeline - We still need a Lantern Leader to lead the procession from this spot
SOUTH: Hudson/Rainier
WEST: MLK/Light Rail Station
NORTH: 35th/Alaska
We'll converge on the Cultural Corner in Columbia School for a DIY party. Potluck, BYOB, and BYOF - Bring Your Own Fun: poem, song, artwork, something to share. Dan Niven's coming back again to put in a labyrinth in the gym, we've got paintings by Maria Winters, and music following the sharing with James O'Halloran, Jeff Brennan and Quixote's Radio.
I can lead the procession from 42/Angeline. Anything I should know other than the way to the cultural corner?
