Sound Advice! is a free monthly, peer to peer, and hands-on introduction to hearing loops put on by The Shedd’s Hearing Loop Committee. Practice using your hearing aid or cochlear implant to access hearing loops to dramatically improve hearing accessibility in both public and personal settings. Theatres, including The Shedd, Florence Event Center, Cottage Theatre, and the Liberty Theatre are looped. Many houses of worship are looped. Eugene Airport and the Library are looped. Small loops can be installed at any reception desk or checkout counter. Loops can be portable to take with you to hear better in many settings. TV rooms, computers, taxi cabs, buses, and even outdoor events can be looped. Come join friends with hearing loss to learn about this important and universal technology. Friends and family are encouraged to attend!

Join us in celebrating California’s 175th anniversary at William B. Ide Adobe SHP. Costumed volunteers will welcome you to the 1850s and take you back in time to California's early statehood. Visitors will learn about California’s beginnings, including the story of the daring Bear Flag Revolt, and create their bear flag to take home. Guided tours of our 1850s homestead will take place at 10:30 am and 12:00 pm. Visit the heritage garden to see what pioneers grew. Come inside the visitor center to view our “Flags Flown Over California” exhibit to learn how many countries once claimed our magnificent state.

Did you know that most of Jacksonville's National Historic Landmark District is haunted? Join us for a 1-hour guided Haunted History walking tour and experience the spirits that linger in the town’s historic buildings.
Our 6pm and 6:30pm Courthouse tour highlights brothels, epidemics and hangings; our 6:15pm Britt Hill tours share stories of murder, arson, saloons, and Chinatown. Both tours have lots of haunted houses. These tours are not your typical “ghost tours” with special effects. They are history tours about real hauntings resulting from past events. The stories come from people who have actually encountered these restless souls.
Tours leave from the Jacksonville Visitors Center at the corner of North Oregon and C streets, cover about 1 mile, and last about 1 hour. Tickets are $10, tour size is capped, and reservations are encouraged. Walk ups are accommodated based on space available.
For more information and reservations, visit https://www.historicjacksonville.org/haunted-history-tours/.

Three brand-new haunted houses (The Silver Scream, Forbidden Fortress, Slayers) anchor a full-blown festival of fear on select nights Oct 3 – Nov 1, 2025. After you claw your way out of the mazes, challenge the Carn-Evil Funhouse, brave the pitch-black Complex: Blackout, loose arrows at Zombie Archery, or cram into one of three mini escape games (Bus 666, Trap House, The Hot Seat). Midway lights stay blazing with Oaks Park thrill rides, a haunted vendor market, coffin-ride “Buried Alive,” food, bars, and roaming monsters—all covered by one grounds pass. 1,000-plus five-star reviews can’t all be wrong.

• Hours & place: 7805 SE Oaks Park Way, Portland, OR 97202—free parking right on the riverfront midway. Gates and rides open one hour before haunt time.
• Tickets: Online General Admission from $23–$40 (prices rise closer to Halloween). Add VIP, All-Access, or ride bracelets at checkout to slash waits and pack in more screams.
• Who should come: Intense scares—best for ages 12+. Event runs rain-or-shine under ample cover. Costumes welcome (no full masks/props).

Get your crew, pick a night, and lock in your spot at ScaregroundsPDX.com before Portland’s biggest haunted event sells out.

AIFF Monthly Film Series: The 9 Lives of Barbara Dane
Saturday, October 11, 7:00 p.m. • Music Recital Hall at Southern Oregon University

Join us for our Monthly Film Series, featuring The 9 Lives of Barbara Dane!

For decades, Barbara Dane lent her stellar singing voice to social justice movements in the Bay Area and beyond, garnering an impressive FBI file along the way. Deeply respected by fellow luminaries in folk, blues, and jazz, Dane built a far reaching legacy with music, activism, and love. As Maureen Gosling’s celebratory portrait reveals, early solidarity with those suffering racial and economic injustice sparked Dane’s passion to use her talent to sustain marginalized people. Rather than chase stardom, she followed her own maternal instincts to root herself and her family among generations of activist performers. Bonnie Raitt, Jane Fonda, and other notables attest to Dane’s unique way of shaping and being shaped by tumultuous social revolutions from the 1950s on. Nearing ninety, Dane triumphantly tours with piano virtuoso Tammy Hall to celebrate a life of staying awake and connected, true to her ideals. One star among many illuminates so much.

To purchase tickets, please visit www.ashlandfilm.org/events. Free parking is available on South Mountain Avenue across from the entrance to the Music Building.

Explore the connection between land, life and legacy. On October 12, learn about The Forest Conservation Burial Ground and it's impact on loved ones and the land. On October 19, experience Forest Bathing at the burial ground with Ilene Gregorian and Shanti Einolander.
