The 7th Annual Red Mill Community Day is right around the corner and we thought we'd let you know about it.

Attached you will find the vendor application for the upcoming 2023 Red Mill Community Day (being held Saturday, August 26). Here are a few highlights from the application:

  • The vendor area will be open from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Set up time begins at 7:00 a.m. and all vendors must be ready to display by 8:30 a.m.
  • The craft vendor area will again be on Water Street so prepare accordingly.
  • Cost is a non-refundable $30.00 fee for a 10' x 10' booth space and a donation(s) for our silent auction. (Income from the silent auction allow Friends of the Red Mill to cover expenses for community day and make improvements to the Red Mill Pavilion and grounds.) Donations with a detailed description of the item(s) are due at the time of arrival. These descriptions will be attached to the bid sheets.
  • We are limiting vendors to 75.
  • Completed applications must be received by August 1.

    Please feel free to share this email with others you know who may have a business, be a crafter, involved in a non-profit or the education field, or is a food vendor.

The Portland Community Theater is busy once again as the Portland Civic Players are in rehearsals for their spring production of “The Art of Dining” by Tina Howe.

Cal and Ellen are the owners and sole staff of a new, small, elegant gourmet restaurant called the Golden Carousel. Cal’s main preoccupation is paying back the $75,000 it cost to start it up, and that means packing in the customers. Chef Ellen is preoccupied with the food quality and stopping Cal from sampling the ingredients (i.e. eating everything!). The diners in the newly opened establishment act out their own private dramas over dinner and their conversations are an exquisite burlesque of contemporary attitudes and a lesson in how not to act while dining. The set is a character all on its own and even includes a kitchen! Leading the cast are Aaron Swan as Cal and Amber Miller as Ellen. Rounding out this hilarious cast of characters are Sara Pohl, Erin Hoard, Jacob Cook, Ashley Weinbrecht-Morris, Sarah Jandernoa, Sandy Kirchinger, Amy Sperry, Pam Robinson and Leon Miller. With loads of adult humor and zaniness, this show is not recommended for a younger audience. Parental discretion is advised.

First presented Off-Broadway in 1979 “The Art of Dining” won two Obie Awards (awards specifically for off-Broadway productions). The Civic Players are excited to bring this unique, fun show to the Portland stage.
