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!

The Fret Drifters
September 12th- 7:00pm
Two guitars. Zero excuses.

The Fret Drifters are the award-winning acoustic duo of Andy Casad and Nick Garrett-Powell — bringing ridiculous guitar talent, high-energy performances, and enough musical horsepower to make people suddenly stop talking mid-wine sip.

Based out of Southern Oregon, these guys have toured across the Pacific Northwest and Australia (short commute), opened for legends like Tommy Emmanuel and Eric Johnson, and built a reputation for absolutely melting faces… acoustically.

Expect:
Fast fingers
Big Fret energy
Blues, folk, rock & acoustic wizardry
Packed-house backyard party vibes
At least one moment where someone mutters “how are there only two people making that much sound?”
This one’s for music nerds, wine drinkers, and anyone who appreciates wildly talented people making it look unfairly easy.

Learn about the ghosts that still linger in Jacksonville’s historic district while learning a little history about the buildings, their occupants, and life in a gold rush town. Join Historic Jacksonville, Inc. for a very “spirited evening” on a guided Haunted History walking tour.
Tours leave from the Jacksonville Visitors Center at the corner of North Oregon and C streets and last about 1 hour. Choose from 2 different tours each night. The Courthouse route features brothels, epidemics, and hangings. The Britt Hill tour highlights murder, arson, saloons, and Oregon’s oldest Chinatown. And both tours have lots of haunted houses!

🛠 Repair Café is back in Eureka on Sunday, September 13! 🛠
👖 The Repair Café is an international movement that connects skilled volunteers with community members who have broken items in need of a second life, which keeps useful items out of the landfill and in our homes where they belong. If you have a broken lamp waiting to be fixed or a hole in your favorite jeans waiting to be patched, bring them on down for a FREE repair to the ADORNI CENTER, 1011 Waterfront Drive from 10am-2pm on Sunday, September 13.
▶ Items must be small enough to be carried by yourself, and you must take them home at the end of the event. If you have the materials for the repair, please bring them. Examples of items to bring include; bikes, laptops, lamps, clothing, jewelry, stereo, small wooden furniture, and more!
‼ Volunteers are needed! Click the link below to sign up, make sure to check for the September 13 Eureka date: https://signup.com/.../invi.../secure/1122197800102/false...
