‘Hansel and Gretel’ playing in Marysville
Cedarcrest Middle School in Marysville offers performances of “Hansel and Gretel” at 3 and 5:30 p.m. today.
Each show runs about an hour.
The 60 or so students in the play auditioned on Tuesday and have been learning their roles over the last few days. A few children from Kellogg Marsh Elementary School are also in the play. Staff from Missoula Children’s Theatre led the auditions and are organizing the play.
There are no tickets for the show, but organizers are seeking donations to help cover costs or food items for the Marysville Community Food Bank.
The play will be at Cedarcrest Middle School, 6400 88th St. NE.
Harvest Dinner benefits defibrillator
Snohomish Seniors offer a Harvest Dinner from 4:30 to 7 p.m. today at Zion Lutheran Church, Parish Hall, 331 Union Ave., Snohomish.
Enjoy corn on the cob, chicken, rolls, salad and dessert. The cost is $10 per person or $15 per family. Proceeds go to help purchase an automatic external defibrillator for the new Snohomish Senior Center.
Gregoire encourages helping food banks
Gov. Chris Gregoire has started a “Feeding Washington” initiative and also asked the Department of Agriculture to work with the state’s farmers, ranchers and those who process food to encourage them to increase their donations.
She encourages anyone already making donations to continue working with their local food banks, but if they have additional product or don’t know where to donate, they can call Rotary First Harvest at 800-457-4483 or e-mail donate@ firstharvest.org.
